I want to force derived classes to implement a given interface without provided a default implementation. Does the concept exist in Objective-C (I'm almost sure it does)? If so, what does the syntax look like?


The nearest thing to pure virtual methods is a formal protocol, declared using the @protocol directive.

file:///Developer/Documentation/DocSets/com.apple.ADC_Reference_Library.CoreReference.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/chapter_7_section_6.html

A class that "conforms to" the formal protocol is required to implement the methods of the protocol.
