iOS concatenate string stringWithFormat

[vidyareef]

Hello!


to concatenate the string with a wriiten text
(here Hello world )
and a value existing in the code
we usually use this
myLabel.text= [NSString stringWithFormat"Hello world ", myString];

But now if i have two values existing in the code e.g. inforesult and myString how can i concatenate them together ?

i tried
myLabel.text= [NSString stringWithFormat: inforesult, myString];

but it doesn't work. Returns me only the inforesult value displayed.

How can i solve this?

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", inforesult, myString];

As always, it's in the documentation.

while searching i also got
NSString *string1= Inforesultat;
NSString *string2 = myString;
string1 = [string1 stringByAppendingString:string2];


I wonder what is the difference and which one is better to use?

stringByAppendingString is probably a little more efficient. stringWithFormat is a general method that can do a lot of things. Obviously it has to parse the format string and then apply the parameters to the parsed format. stringByAppendingString does one thing only so can be simpler and faster.

Having said that it probably will make little difference in most cases and my analysis is based on my assumptions and not on knowledge of the implementation.

I'd like to believe using NSMutableString would be the most efficient...or at least, the most appropriate

IMO, if you are worried about String append operations, I think you're over optimizing...
