R – getting string in NSMutableArray : Why it doesn’t work

nsmutablearraynsmutabledictionaryobjective cstring

I have the error -[NSCFString stringValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1578c when executing this code
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong
name is a NSString

self.searchValues= [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
name=@"Bob";
if(self.name!=nil)
   [searchValues addObject: [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Name",@"Label",self.name,@"Value",nil]];
NSLog(@"Array value : %s",[[[searchValues objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"Value"] stringValue]);

Firstly, you can drop the [... stringValue] message. It isn't necessary, that object is already a string. Secondly, you should use %@ instead of %s for NSString objects.

Note: %@ works for any object at all, for that matter. Try

NSLog(@"Array: %@", searchValues);

Trust me, it's worth trying.

C# – the difference between String and string in C#

string is an alias in C# for System.String.
So technically, there is no difference. It's like int vs. System.Int32.

As far as guidelines, it's generally recommended to use string any time you're referring to an object.

e.g.

string place = "world";

Likewise, I think it's generally recommended to use String if you need to refer specifically to the class.

e.g.

string greet = String.Format("Hello {0}!", place);

This is the style that Microsoft tends to use in their examples.

It appears that the guidance in this area may have changed, as StyleCop now enforces the use of the C# specific aliases.

C++ – How to iterate over the words of a string

I use this to split string by a delimiter. The first puts the results in a pre-constructed vector, the second returns a new vector.

#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <iterator>

template <typename Out>
void split(const std::string &s, char delim, Out result) {
    std::istringstream iss(s);
    std::string item;
    while (std::getline(iss, item, delim)) {
        *result++ = item;
    }
}

std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string &s, char delim) {
    std::vector<std::string> elems;
    split(s, delim, std::back_inserter(elems));
    return elems;
}

Note that this solution does not skip empty tokens, so the following will find 4 items, one of which is empty:

std::vector<std::string> x = split("one:two::three", ':');
