What is the difference between: NSString *string1 = @"This is string 1."; and NSString *string2 = [[NSString alloc]initWithString:@"This is string 2.]; Why am I not allocating and initializing the first string, yet it still works? I thought I was supposed to allocate NSString since it is an object? In Cocoa Touch, -(IBAction) clicked: (id)sender{ NSString *titleOfButton = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal]; NSString *newLabelText = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"%@", titleOfButton]; labelsText.text=newLabelText; [newLabelText release]; } Why do I not allocate and initialize for the titleOfButton string? Does the method I call do that for me? Also, I'm using XCode 4, but I dislike iOS 5, and such, so I do not use ARC if that matters. Please don't say I should, I am just here to find out why this is so. Thanks!
