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： 

void changeName(Person *p, NSString *newName)
{

    // using the KVC accessor (getter) method
    NSString *originalName = [p valueForKey:@"name"];

    // using the KVC  accessor (setter) method.
    [p setValue:newName forKey:@"name"];

    NSLog(@"Changed %@'s name to: %@", originalName, newName);

}

  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：

void logMarriage(Person *p)
{

    // just using the accessor again, same as example above
    NSString *personsName = [p valueForKey:@"name"];

    // this line is different, because it is using
    // a "key path" instead of a normal "key"
    NSString *spousesName = [p valueForKeyPath:@"spouse.name"];

    NSLog(@"%@ is happily married to %@", personsName, spousesName);

}

 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"

  
  @implementation PersonWatcher
  
  -(void) watchPersonForChangeOfAddress:(Person *)p
  {
  
      // this begins the observing
      [p addObserver:self
          forKeyPath:@"address"
             options:0
             context:KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED];
  
      // keep a record of all the people being observed,
      // because we need to stop observing them in dealloc
      [m_observedPeople addObject:p];
  }
  
  // whenever an observed key path changes, this method will be called
  - (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath
                        ofObject:(id)object
                          change:(NSDictionary *)change
                         context:(void *)context
  
  {
      // use the context to make sure this is a change in the address,
      // because we may also be observing other things
      if(context == KVO_CONTEXT_ADDRESS_CHANGED) {
          NSString *name = [object valueForKey:@"name"];
          NSString *address = [object valueForKey:@"address"];
          NSLog(@"%@ has a new address: %@", name, address);
      }
  }
  
  -(void) dealloc;
  {
  
      // must stop observing everything before this object is
      // deallocated, otherwise it will cause crashes
      for(Person *p in m_observedPeople){
          [p removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"address"];
      }
  
      [m_observedPeople release];
      m_observedPeople = nil;
  
      [super dealloc];
  
  }
  
  -(id) init;
  {
      if(self = [super init]){
          m_observedPeople = [NSMutableArray new];
      }
  
      return self;
  }
  
  @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。
