# Objective C allow to allocate object through alloc and init

What is the [difference](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157114/good-news-or-bad-news-and-the-difference-is) between the following 2 ways to allocate and [init](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/204/what-is-asp-dot-net-page-life-cycle) an object?

```
AController *tempAController = [[AController alloc] init];self.aController = tempAController;[tempAController release];
```

and

```
self.aController= [[AController alloc] init];
```

Most of the [apple](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12629/apple-cracks-down-on-os-level-ad-blockers) example use the first method. Why would you allocate, init and object and then [release](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2247/apple-plans-to-release-new-macs-in-early-2023) immediately?
