Hi All,

Anybody know where can I get some examples of if() conditionals being used
with string variables in Objective-C?

To be specific, I am trying to use an if conditional to check the value of a string being a certain value and then replacing it with a different value if
the condition returns TRUE.
Currently I have:

NSString *theName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", [firstName
stringValue], [lastName stringValue]];

I thought that this would work but it doesn't:

if ([NSString theName] == @"John Lenon") {

You are comparing the pointer to theName with the pointer to @"John Lenon". Try the isEqualToString: method.

Also, it's "Lennon" :)
