ios技术面试题

1.Difference between shallow copy and deep copy?

浅复制 只拷贝地址 不拷贝地址指向的对象

深复制 拷贝地址 并且指向拷贝的新对象

2.What is advantage of categories? What is difference between implementing a category and inheritance?

categories: 在不影响或修改原来的类别或模组的情况下去修改原有的功能，增加新的功能

3.Difference between categories and extensions?

categories: 在不影响或修改原来的类别或模组的情况下去修改原有的功能，增加新的功能 

4.Difference between PRotocol in objective c and interfaces in java?

暂时觉得它们是一样的 protocol 可以被继承 interfaces 不可以

在java 中的interfaces 在 objective-c 中就是 protocol

在java 中的 class 在 objective-c 中就是 interface

5.What are KVO and KVC?

转自 http://magicalboy.com/kvc_and_kvo/

一个对象拥有某些属性。比如说，一个 Person 对象有一个 name 和一个 address 属性。以 KVC 说法，Person 对象分别有一个 value 对应他的 name 和 address 的 key。 key 只是一个字符串，它对应的值可以是任意类型的对象。从最基础的层次上看，KVC 有两个方法：一个是设置 key 的值，另一个是获取 key 的值。如下面的例子： 

Java代码  

1. void changeName(Person *p, NSString *newName)  
2. {  
3.    
4.     // using the KVC accessor (getter) method  
5.     NSString *originalName = [p valueForKey:@"name"];  
6.    
7.     // using the KVC  accessor (setter) method.  
8.     [p setValue:newName forKey:@"name"];  
9.    
10.     NSLog(@"Changed %@'s name to: %@", originalName, newName);  
11.    
12. }  

  现在，如果 Person 有另外一个 key 配偶（spouse），spouse 的 key 值是另一个 Person 对象，用 KVC 可以这样写：

Java代码  

1. void logMarriage(Person *p)  
2. {  
3.    
4.     // just using the accessor again, same as example above  
5.     NSString *personsName = [p valueForKey:@"name"];  
6.    
7.     // this line is different, because it is using  
8.     // a "key path" instead of a normal "key"  
9.     NSString *spousesName = [p valueForKeyPath:@"spouse.name"];  
10.    
11.     NSLog(@"%@ is happily married to %@", personsName, spousesName);  
12.    
13. }  

 Key-Value Observing (KVO) 建立在 KVC 之上，它能够观察一个对象的 KVC key path 值的变化。举个例子，用代码观察一个 person 对象的 address 变化，以下是实现的三个方法：

• watchPersonForChangeOfAddress: 实现观察
• observeValueForKeyPath:ofObject:change:context: 在被观察的 key path 的值变化时调用。
• dealloc 停止观察static NSString *const KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED = @"KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED"
  Java代码  

  1.    
  2. @implementation PersonWatcher  
  3.    
  4. -(void) watchPersonForChangeOfAddress:(Person *)p  
  5. {  
  6.    
  7.     // this begins the observing  
  8.     [p addObserver:self  
  9.         forKeyPath:@"address"  
  10.            options:0  
  11.            context:KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED];  
  12.    
  13.     // keep a record of all the people being observed,  
  14.     // because we need to stop observing them in dealloc  
  15.     [m_observedPeople addObject:p];  
  16. }  
  17.    
  18. // whenever an observed key path changes, this method will be called  
  19. - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath  
  20.                       ofObject:(id)object  
  21.                         change:(NSDictionary *)change  
  22.                        context:(void *)context  
  23.    
  24. {  
  25.     // use the context to make sure this is a change in the address,  
  26.     // because we may also be observing other things  
  27.     if(context == KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED) {  
  28.         NSString *name = [object valueForKey:@"name"];  
  29.         NSString *address = [object valueForKey:@"address"];  
  30.         NSLog(@"%@ has a new address: %@", name, address);  
  31.     }  
  32. }  
  33.    
  34. -(void) dealloc;  
  35. {  
  36.    
  37.     // must stop observing everything before this object is  
  38.     // deallocated, otherwise it will cause crashes  
  39.     for(Person *p in m_observedPeople){  
  40.         [p removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"address"];  
  41.     }  
  42.    
  43.     [m_observedPeople release];  
  44.     m_observedPeople = nil;  
  45.    
  46.     [super dealloc];  
  47.    
  48. }  
  49.    
  50. -(id) init;  
  51. {  
  52.     if(self = [super init]){  
  53.         m_observedPeople = [NSMutableArray new];  
  54.     }  
  55.    
  56.     return self;  
  57. }  
  58.    
  59. @end  
    这就是 KVO 的作用，它通过 key path 观察对象的值，当值发生变化的时候会收到通知。
