What is Xcode?
A complicated application to type in, compile, debug and execute your program. Serves as the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Location: Macintosh HD -> Xcode

Program Creation in Xcode
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Start the Xcode Application. For new project, select File -> New Project.
For faster use of IDE, better memorize the shortcuts for build, run, etc. Note that you are using a PC keyboard, so check the equivalent of the keys in the Mac Help topics.

Select the type of application, Command Line Utility ->Foundation Tool then click Choose button after. Select the name and location to store your files. Click the file with the .m extension and start to edit the file. Press Command S to save changes. Build and Run the application. If you get compiler error, make changes & save then back to Step 6.

Basic Program Structure
// First Program Sample #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
Includes a System File Comment: // or /* */

int main (int argc, const char *argv[ ]) { NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init ]; NSLog (@Hello World!); [pool drain]; return 0; }
Release all objects in the pool marked as autorelease

Keeps track of object references in your program for automatic release later.

Workshop 1: Exercise 3
Exercise 3: Make a program that will ask an array of n integers. Determine the lowest number in the array and delete it from the array. Sample: How many integers: 4 Input 1: 2 Input 2: 1 Input 3: 6 Input 4: 3

Lowest Number: 1 Array Result: 2, 3, 6
