Ah — my assumption was that he wanted to keep appending previous results to the string, so it’d create sort of a log file sort of thing (or, since his object is a calculator, something akin to a roll of tape on an adding machine). In this case, using -stringByAppendingString: (or just using an NSMutableString) would be correct, although the assignment to an empty string would be wrong.
