Is Concatenation that complex?


  • Subject: Is Concatenation that complex?

Newbie coming from java here.

I am looking to concatenate strings. In java I could do complex string concatenation mixing variables and string literals in one line:

String middle = "insane root";
String RelevantQuote = "Or have we eaten on the" + middle + "that takes the reason prisoner?"

or in my specific less interesting case I want to end up with "(20)"

String cookie = "20";
String messageString2 = "(" + cookie + ")";

From what I have read in Obj-C I have to do this:

NSString* cookieString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d", cookie];
NSString* pClose = @")";
NSString* pOpen = @"(";
NSString* CookiePOpen = [pOpen stringByAppendingString:cookieString];
NSString* PCloseCookiePOpen = [CookiePOpen stringByAppendingString:pClose];
NSString* messageString2 = [messageString stringByAppendingString:PCloseCookiePOpen];

It seams like a lot of work to do something simple. Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Adam
