If you must work character-by-character,
use character constants (e.g. >'0' or '9')

In that (unlikely) situation, how would I test, say, equality of characters ? For example, if I needed to know whether character number j in aString is '7', writing ([aString characterAtIndex:j]=='7') wouldn't work, would it ?

Sure it would. Both unichar (as typedef'd) and char are integer types in C. '7' is another way of writing a number, although not the number 7. Which number depends on the encoding of your source file, but in most modern systems it would be ASCII or UTF-8. (I don't know if, for example, EBCDIC is still used on any modern systems.) In either of those, '7' is the same as 0x37 or 55.

If you have single quotes, it is the number 7, isn't it? Or is it too early in the morning here?


#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, char const *argv[])
{
   NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];
   unichar c = '7';
   NSString *s = [NSString stringWithCharacters:&c length:1];
   NSLog(@"%@ == %C", s, c);
   return 0;
}

This prints 7 == 7, as I'd expect. If you use "unichar c = 7" I'd expect the results you mention.

I understand the sentence as : " '7' is an integer that is not 7 ": '7' != 7 but both are integer values.
