Those two methods are simple conveniences for you. In reality they
just convert to and from NSNumber without forcing you to do it:
- (float)floatForKey:(NSString *)k { return [[self objectForKey:k]
floatValue]; }
- (void)setFloat:(float)f forKey:(NSString *)k { [self
setObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:f] forKey:k]; }
That's all, nothing weird or contradictory, just a little bit of a
shortcut provided for you.
