Hi all
I am going through Kochan's new book to learn Obj-C and cocoa..trying
to start with the basics...so hope you don't mind if I post some very
basic questions....
Going through the exercises, I am currently stuck on this one as
follows.
"Given the NSPathUtilities.h function NSTemporaryDirectory and the
NSProcessInfo methodgloballyUniqueString described in this chapter,
add a category called TempFiles to NSString, and in it define a method
called temporaryFileName that returns a different, unique filename
every time it is invoked."
My question, having seen that the author creates and then stores these
unique names in the NSTemporaryDirectory, is **why** one would choose
that directory over, say, some locally created directory..is there a
good OOP reason for choosing that Foundation directory? Unless I have
missed something, ( quite probably) the documentation does not
specifically discuss this aspect...but if it does...I will gladly read
that if available.
Thanks in advance
