confusion regarding instancetype

Hi,

I understand the content inside the if condition but what is the purpose / function of all these other code? Is this how we initialize library objects or is this how we initialize the library property?

  • (instancetype) init{ self=[super init]; if(self){ ...} return self; }

Thanks
