I've been reading about the Objective-C datatypes and all the primitive types it inherits from C.
Data types like bool are inherited but type-def to BOOL, so declared like:
BOOL myBOOL;
Where as NSString is declared like:
NSString * myString;
My doubt is how do I know when to use * and when not to? Primitive types don't need *, I know that, but that's a little confusing because
Eg:
NSString * myString;
Where as
NSInteger myInt;
So the doubt really is, I understand using * with Objective C's own data types but no * for primitive types.
But in this example above NSInteger is a primitive type. So how do I differentiate between primitive and non-primitive data types ? (NS prefix clearly isn't the correct answer)
