Why does not this NSAssert with stringWithFormat compile?

Question

stringWithFormat should return a string, why does this statement not compile

NSAssert(YES, [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",@"test if compiles"]);

when

NSAssert(YES, @"test if compiles");

compiles?

Answer 1

Use this as :

NSAssert(YES, ([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",@"test if compiles"])); // Pass it in brackets ()
