Oh and would it be absolutely wise for me to retain the input value just in case
it is already auto-released somewhere else? and release it before the function ends?

Greetings,

i was just wondering if Cocoa behaved like other languages concerning variable scope.
i did search the documentation for variable scope but all i get back is the references for Apple Scripts ...


so... in this function.

+ (NSString *)numberFizzle: (NSNumber *) input{

NSString *intToStr = [ [ [NSString alloc] stringWithFormat:@"%d", [input intValue]] autorelease];
NSString *tempStr = [ [ [NSString alloc] stringWithFormat:@"i%d:% d", [intToStr length], [input intValue]] autorelease];

NSLog(tempStr);
return tempStr;
}


so if Objective-C (cocoa) behaves like i think. there is no need for me to autorealease anything that does not exit my function.

so fo example here, the intToStr variable will be automatically killed at the end of the function
so i would not have to autorelease it... BUT tempStr will exit the function therefor i should autorelease it just in case it is not released by the user...


is that right ?

Thank you for your assistance !

Sandro Noel.
