If you must work character-by-character,

In that (unlikely) situation, how would I test, say, equality
of characters ? For example, if I needed to know whether
character number j in aString is '7', writing
([aString characterAtIndex:j]=='7') wouldn't work, would it ?
Sure it would. Both unichar (as typedef'd) and char are integer types
in C. '7' is another way of writing a number, although not the number
7. Which number depends on the encoding of your source file, but in
most modern systems it would be ASCII or UTF-8. (I don't know if, for
example, EBCDIC is still used on any modern systems.) In either of
those, '7' is the same as 0x37 or 55.
