Detailed Description

An object representation of nil.

This class is used as an object representation of nil. This is handy when a collection only accepts objects as values, but you would like a nil representation in there.

Definition at line 2 of file CPNull.h.

Method Documentation

- (void) encodeWithCoder: (CPCoder)  aCoder

implementation

Writes out nothing to the specified coder.

Parameters

aCoder

the coder to which nothing will be written

Definition at line 83 of file CPNull.j.

- (id) initWithCoder: (CPCoder)  aCoder

implementation

Returns CPNull null.

Parameters

aCoder

the coder from which to do nothing

Returns

[CPNull null]

Definition at line 73 of file CPNull.j.

- (BOOL) isEqual: (id)  anObject

implementation

Determines if anObject is functionally equivalent to the receiver.

Returns

YES if anObject is functionally equivalent to the receiver.

Reimplemented from CPObject.

Definition at line 60 of file CPNull.j.

+ (CPNull) null

implementation

Returns the singleton instance of the CPNull object. While CPNull and nil should be interpreted as the same, they are not equal ('==').

Definition at line 52 of file CPNull.j.

- (id) valueForKey: (CPString)  aKey

implementation

Reimplemented from CPObject.

Provided by category CPNull(CPKeyValueCoding).

Definition at line 280 of file CPKeyValueCoding.j.
