The <code>description</code> factory method describes the class
|
|
|
|
|
of the receiver. In the default GNUstep implementation, this
|
|
|
|
|
simply returns the name of the class as an NSString object.

The <code>description</code> method describes the reciever.
|
|
|
|
|
In the default GNUstep implementation, this returns an NSString
|
|
|
|
|
object giving the name of the class of the receiver and the
|
|
|
|
|
hexadecimal representation of the recievers address enclosed
|
|
|
|
|
in angle brackets.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Generally, classes other than NSObject will override this method
|
|
|
|
|
to provide a more informative description of their instances.
