Hi,
   
  I have recently started programming on Mac using Objective-C and Cocoa. I am 
coming from C++/C# world. So, its a fairly basic question. Please help me 
understand the following code:
   
  @implementation MyView     /*MyView inherits from NSView */
  -(void)drawRect: (NSRect)aRect {
                  [[NSColor blackColor] set];
                  NSRectFill( [self bounds] );
  }
   
  In first line, I was expecting something like [self setColor:[NSColor 
blackColor]];   (similar to this.color = NSColor.blackColor; in C#/C++)
  how NSColor object knows about where to set the color?
   
  In second line, NSRectFill(), I was expecting it to be called using square 
bracket [] notation. Again how this function knows where to fill the rectangle? 
There is no reference of NSView passed into the function?
   
  Lastly what are the rules of using () verses []?
   
  Thanks in advance for your time!
  -Vks
