When in doubt, remember to look at the super-class documentation: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/cocoa/reference/Foundation/Classes/NSObject_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000050-init All classes that inherit from NSObject (which means pretty much all of them) inherit NSObject's –init method, and that's assumed or implicit in the Array examples you referenced above . . .
