In iOS what we prefer NSInteger or int

Question

Tarun Kumar · Accepted Answer

"In my according NSInteger have all the features of safe architecture versions of the corresponding C types, basically its size changes depending on the architecture. and NSInteger is guaranteed to hold any valid pointer for the current architecture.Apple also recommends that you use these to work with OS-X and onwards, and Apple's APIs will use them, so it is definitely a good idea to get into the habit of using them. It require a little more typing, but it is a part from that it doesn't seem to be any reason not to use them."
