The correct and safe way to do what you want to do is NSLog(@"%@",myDictionary), which also takes less typing!

Just to be pedantic, if you want the *description* of the dictionary, as returned by the description method, you have to explicitly provide [myDictionary description] (i.e. not less typing), since NSLog will use CFCreateStringWithFormatAndArguments, which treat the %@ placeholder as being a CoreFoundation object, which description is often more verbose (at least with dictionaries, dates and arrays IIRC).
