# Objective-C Cheatsheet

Objective-C is a programming language used primarily for developing applications for Apple's Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. Here is an overview of its features, code blocks, and resources.

## Features

- Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language.
- It is a superset of the C programming language, meaning that it includes all of the features of C as well as additional features for object-oriented programming.
- Objective-C uses a dynamic runtime system, which allows for features such as late binding and dynamic method resolution.
- Objective-C is the primary programming language used for developing applications for Apple's Mac OS X and iOS operating systems.

## Code Blocks

### Variables

Variables are used to store data that can be used later in the program.

int variableName = value;


### Methods

Methods are code blocks that perform a specific task. They can be called by other parts of the program.

- (void)methodName:(parameterType)parameterName {

// code to be executed

}


### Conditionals

Conditionals allow the program to make decisions based on certain conditions.

if (condition) {

// code to be executed if condition is true

} else if (otherCondition) {

// code to be executed if otherCondition is true

} else {

// code to be executed if neither condition is true

}


### Loops

Loops allow the program to repeat a set of instructions.

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {

// code to be executed

}


### Objects

Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language, and objects are a fundamental part of the language.

@interface ClassName : SuperclassName

// properties and methods

@end

@implementation ClassName

// implementation of methods

@end
