How to initialize an NSObject's subclass on iPhone?

Question

I want to write some methods in a class so that other classes can call these methods using [instance methodName:Parameter].

If the class is a subclass of UIViewController, I can use initWithNibName to initialize it. But I want to write the methods in an NSObject's subclass, how can I initialize it?

Answer 1

I find this may work:

TheClass *newObject = [[TheClass alloc] init];
//do something here
[newObject release];
