Join Todd Perkins for an in-depth discussion in this video Displaying tapped numbers in the calculator, part of Programming for Non-Programmers with iOS 7.
…With our code connected to our storyboard assets, we're…ready to start writing the real code for our application.…In viewController.m, find the viewDidLoad function…and right below the comment we're going to initialize valueString by setting it's…value equal to an empty NSString, that is, at symbol and then two quotes.…Now before, we talked about integer variables and primitives, and how they…have default values, like the default value for a Boolean is no, or false.…
The default value for a number is zero.…Strings do not have a default value.…So, when we're working with the string…variable, we have to initialize it to something.…So, this us giving valueString a blank string.…Now, let's scroll down into tappedNumber.…In here, what we're going to do, is create an integer…variable to capture the tag of the button that was pressed.…So, create an integer variable.…We'll call this num and we'll set it equal to btn.…
That's the button, whatever button that…was tapped that triggered this function, .tag.…That's how we grab the buttons tag.…
