You’ve declared myString as a _mutable_ pointer to an _immutable_ object. If
you had declared it as
NSString* const myString = @“Hi";
then the variable itself would be immutable, and the compiler would give you an
error if you tried to reassign it. (You often see this style used when
declaring a string constant in a header file, since it’s supposed to stay
constant and no one should reassign it.)
Working with C++ will beat this concept into your head (for better or worse).
