That would be correct and safe?

Yes, but pointless.

Nope, that'd be assigning a NSString instance to a NSMutableString variable (throwing a compile-time warning) and expecting it to receive a setString: method, which it won't know what to do with.

The first line should be:

NSMutableString *title = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];


This, however, is much better advice:

If the string is a constant, use a constant.

NSString* string = @"whatever";
