What does the @ symbol represent in objective-c.

Question

Tarun Kumar · Answer

Objective-C frameworks typically do not use C-style strings. Instead, they pass strings around as NSString objects.
The NSString class provides an object wrapper for strings that has all of the advantages you would expect, including built-in memory management for storing arbitrary-length strings, support for Unicode, printf-style formatting utilities, and more. Because such strings are used commonly though, Objective-C provides a shorthand notation for creating NSString objects from constant values. To use this shorthand, all you have to do is precede a normal, double-quoted string with the @ symbol, as shown in the following examples: NSString *myString = @"My String
";NSString *anotherString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d %@", 1, @"String"];
