Objective-C is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It was developed in the early 1980s at Stepstone. In the late 1980s, Objective-C was selected as the main programming language for NeXTSTEP and was later adopted by Apple for Mac OS X and iOS software development. Major features of Objective-C include object-oriented programming, dynamic typing, automatic memory management, and a flexible syntax that supports protocol-oriented programming.
This document provides an overview of strings and string handling in Swift. It discusses strings as collections of characters, encoding of strings in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32, properties of String and NSString like count and indexing, comparing strings using == and isEqual(to:), and considerations for equality of strings across encodings and decomposed character representations.
This document lists several classes related to web content handling and networking in WebKit: WKHTTPCookieStore for managing HTTP cookies, WKContentRuleListStore for rule lists, WKURLSchemeHandler for custom URL scheme handling, and WKSnapshotConfiguration for webpage snapshot configuration.
Type systems are generally formulated as collections of rules for checking the 'consistency' of programs. Type systems check that values are used appropriately according to their declared types throughout a program.
