So my question is - is there a way to include the first label? I note that the examples in the ObjectiveC manual seem to leave the first one out also: [myRect setWidth:10.0 :15.0]; ---> [myRect setWidth:10.0 height: 15.0];

No, it doesn't.


[myRect setOrigin:30.0 :50.0];
Here the method name, setOrigin::, has two colons, one for each of its arguments. The arguments are inserted after the colons. This method name uses unlabeled arguments. Unlabeled arguments make it difficult to determine the kind and purpose of a method’s arguments. Instead, method names should include labels describing each of their arguments. Argument labels precede each colon in the method name. The setWidth:height: method, for example, makes the purpose of its two arguments clear:

[myRect setWidth:10.0 height:15.0];
