iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Introduction to Objective-C From Structs to Objects

Posted by simondumalski

From Structs to Objects, do not understand implementation.

On the Structs to Objects video at 5:25 there is something going on aboiut creating an implementation. The code in the video changes from @interface to @implemenation and not sure why. What did the presenter do to turn it into an @implementation? Also in my sphere.h the #import line reads <Foundation/foundation.h> on the video it reads #import <Sphere.h>.

Would you be able to help me out with this?

Thanks.

Hey Simon,

In the video he actually changes from working on Sphere.h to Sphere.m, without saying so, which was confusing. But for some reason the file he's working on shows Sphere.h but he was actually working in Sphere.m.

Hope that helps.

Joe

The @interface is from the header file (.h) and the @implementation is from the implementation file (.m).

He probably switches from the .h to the .m

I don't fully understand your other question.
