how do I pass a variable to a UIALERTVIEW ?

[rrichar]

I have the following UIAlertview in my program

UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:@"Final Score"
message:@"End of test. You scrose is: ."
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:@"Continue"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];

I have an integer called Score that I want to concatenate to the end of the sentence. Can someone tell me how ?

If your integer score value is called "score", just do this:

NSString* messageString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"End of test. Your score is: %d", score]; 
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Final Score" 
  message: messageString
  delegate: self 
  cancelButtonTitle: @"Continue" 
  otherButtonTitles: nil
  ];
  [alert show];
[alert release];

thank you very much. I don't mean to be rude but what if score wasn't an integer ? What would I have to change in the code ?

Instead of using %d in the NSString, use something else (like %@ for another NSString, or another object). Look up "format specifiers" in the docs for more info. I'd link to it, but my internet is really spotty right now.
