There is no reason to use this when you mean > > NSMutableArray *anArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; Both examples yield an NSMutableArray object with a retain count of 1. The first example invokes an autorelease which is canceled out by a retain. The first example could be rewritten as [[[[NSMutableArray alloc] init] autorelease] retain]; When you compare that to the second example, it's easy to see why there's no reason to use the first.
