Now the line
- (BOOL)launchApplication:(NSString *)appName

May be technically the declaration of the method, but is that really useful to anybody?

If that is not useful to you (or any other programmer) then you (or other programmers) **really** need to go back to the basics.


If you don't understand method declarations then how do you write methods in your implementation file?
How do you add declarations to your header file?
How do you read code written by others?


As Graham note, this is the same for any programming language. If you can't write method declarations then you aren't going to be writing a lot of code (whatever the language). And if you can write them you can read them.

There is no documentation that anyone could possibly write that will allow someone who doesn't know the programming language to understand how to write software in that language.
