Change your function definition to - (NSString*)convertFunctionWithValues:(NSString*)....etc and just add "return retVal;"

Also, its not really necessary but in the interest of good coding practices you may want to consider passing an array (NSArray of NSNumber or whatever) to -[convertValues convertFunctionWithValues:ValueTwo:ValueThree:ValueFour:ValueFire:ValueSix:ValueSeven:ValueEight:Pecision :] since as I'm sure you can tell that's quite the doozy of a function name.

You also don't need the = @"" part from your NSString declaration.

Hi,

I've currently got a function of type void that works swimmingly in the debugger. I now need to populate a text field with the value of the generated string within the function. The function is declared along the lines:

- (void)convertFunctionWithValues:(NSString *)valueOne ValueTwo: (double)valueTwo ValueThree:(double)valueThree ValueFour: (double)valueFour ValueFive:(NSString *)valueFive ValueSix: (double)valueSix ValueSeven:(double)valueSeven ValueEight: (double)valueEight Precision:(int)precision;
{
        // Declarations here    
        NSString *retVal = @"";       

        // Calculations go here...
        // Lots of them...
        
        // We've got the result, now we want to return it
retVal = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%c%c%i%i", retLet1, retLet2,retFinalCalcA,retFinalCalcB];

}

How do I now return this string value? The initialisation and calling is done via:

        convertedValue = [[convertValues alloc] init];
valToBeDisplayed = [convertedValue convertFunctionWithValues:valueOne ValueTwo:valueTwo ValueThree:valueThree ValueFour:valueFour ValueFive:valueFive ValueSix:valueSix ValueSeven:valueSeven ValueEight:valueEight Precision:precision];
        // Display returned value
        self.valDisplayField.text = valToBeDisplayed;
        [convertedValue release];

Also, according to your code at the bottom here, you want to return a value from a METHOD not a function.

Mike.


Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,

Stu
