I can't figure out how to use an NSMutableString. I want it to have a float value and then some text after it in the string. I am declaring it with

NSMutableString totalStr;

but PB just comes up with an error

"totalStr cannot be statically allocated
statically allocated objects are not supported."

After I get it set up, how would I append a float value and then text to it?

Thanks in advance.

Everything in Cocoa is a pointer.

So you'd do something like:

NSMutableString *myStr = [[NSMutableString alloc] init]; (which is the generic format for all objects.)

Then you can use appendFormat: to append stuff in printf-style format:

i.e.

[myStr appendFormat:@"Mooof! %f %@", myFloat, myNSNormalOrMutableString];
