Copy object during assignment and increases retain count by 1
What is meaning of "readOnly" keyword?
Declare read only object / declare only getter method
What is meaning of "retain" keyword?
Specifies that retain should be invoked on the object upon assignment. takes ownership of an object
What is meaning of "assign" keyword?
Specifies that the setter uses simple assignment. Uses on attribute of scalar type like float, int.
What is meaning of "atomic" keyword?
"Atomic", the synthesized setter/getter will ensure that a whole value is always returned from the getter or set by the setter, only single thread can access variable to get or set value at a time

Retain -Specifies that retain should be invoked on the object upon assignment. takes ownership of an object
Assign - Specifies that the setter uses simple assignment. Uses on attribute of scalar type like float,int.
What is meaning of "synthesize" keyword?
Ask the compiler to generate the setter and getter methods according to the specification in the declaration
What is "Protocol" on objective c?
A protocol declares methods that can be implemented by any class. Protocols are not classes themselves. They simply define an interface that other objects are responsible for implementing. Protocols have many advantages. The idea is to provide a way for classes to share the same method and property declarations without inheriting them from a common ancestor
What is use of UIApplication class?
The UIApplication class implements the required behavior of an application.
What compilers apple using?
The Apple compilers are based on the compilers of the GNU Compiler Collection.
What is synchronized () block in objective c? What is the use of that?
The @synchronized ()directive locks a section of code for use by a single thread. Other threads are blocked until the thread exits the protected code.
What is the "interface" and "implementation"?
Interface declares the behavior of class and implementation defines the behavior of class.
What is "private", "Protected" and "Public”?
Private - limits the scope class variable to the class that declares it.
Protected - Limits instance variable scope to declaring and inheriting classes.
Public - Removes restrictions on the scope of instance variables
What is the use of "dynamic" keyword?
Instructs the compiler not to generate a warning if it cannot find implementations of accessor methods associated with the properties whose names follow.
What is "Delegate”?
A delegate is an object that will respond to pre-chosen selectors (function calls) at some point in the future., need to implement the protocol method by the delegate object.
What is "notification"?

What is difference between "protocol" and "delegate"?
Protocol is used the declare a set of methods that a class that "adopts" (declares that it will use this protocol) will implement.
Delegates are a use of the language feature of protocols. The delegation design pattern is a way of designing your code to use protocols where necessary.
What is "Push Notification"?
To get the any update /alert from server.
What is storyboard?
With Storyboards, all screens are stored in a single file. This gives you a conceptual overview of the visual representation for the app and shows you how the screens are connected. Xcode provides a built-in editor to layout the Storyboards.
.storyboard is essentially one single file for all your screens in the app and it shows the flow of the screens. You can add segues/transitions between screens, this way. So, this minimizes the boilerplate code required to manage multiple screens.
What is Category in Objective c?
A category allows you to add methods to an existing class—even to one for which you do not have the source.
What is block in objective c?
Blocks are a language-level feature added to C, Objective-C and C++, which allow you to create distinct segments of code that can be passed around to methods or functions as if they were values. Blocks are Objective-C objects, which means they can be added to collections like NSArray or NSDictionary. They also have the ability to capture values from the enclosing scope, making them similar to closures or lambdas in other programming languages.
How to parse xml? Explain in deep.

How to use reusable cell in UITableview?
By using dequeReusableCellWithIdentifier
What is the meaning of "strong"keyword?
*strong -o "own" the object you are referencing with this property/variable. The compiler will take care that any object that you assign to this property will not be destroyed as long as you (or any other object) points to it with a strong reference.
What is the meaning of "weak" keyword?
*Weak - weak reference you signify that you don't want to have control over the object's lifetime. The object you are referencing weakly only lives on because at least one other object holds a strong reference to it. Once that is no longer the case, the object gets destroyed and your weak property will automatically get set to nil.
What is difference strong and weak reference? Explain.
Complier with be responsible for lifetime of object which is declared as strong. for weak object - compiler will destroy object once strong reference that hold weak object get destroyed.
What is ARC? How it works? Explain in deep.
Automatic reference counting (ARC) If the compiler can recognize where you should be retaining and releasing objects, and put the retain and release statement in code.
What manual memory management? How it work?
In Manual memory management developers is responsible for life cycle of object. Developer has to retain /alloc and release the object wherever needed.
How to find the memory leaks in MRC?
By using -
What is use of NSOperation? How NSOperationque works?
An operation object is a single-shot object—that is, it executes its task once and cannot be used to execute it again. You typically execute operations by adding them to an operation queueAn NSOperationQueue object is a queue that handles objects of the NSOperation class type. An NSOperation object, simply phrased, represents a single task, including both the data and the code related to the task. The NSOperationQueue handles and manages the execution of all the NSOperation objects (the tasks) that have been added to it.
What is autorealease pool?
Every time -autorelease is sent to an object, it is added to the inner-most autorelease pool. When the pool is drained, it simply sends -release to all the objects in the pool.
Autorelease pools are simply a convenience that allows you to defer sending -release until "later". That "later" can happen in several places, but the most common in Cocoa GUI apps is at the end of the current run loop cycle.
Difference between nil and Nil?
Nil is meant for class pointers, and nil is meant for object pointers
What is fast enumeration?

}
How to start a thread?

In Asynchronous control gets back to user even if request is getting execute.
What are the ViewController lifecycle in ios?
LoadView - viewDidLoad-viewWillAppear-viewDidAppear - viewDisappear - viewDidUnload
Difference between coredata & sqlite?
There is a huge difference between these two. SQLLite is a database itself like we have MS SQL Server. But CoreData is an ORM (Object Relational Model) which creates a layer between the database and the UI. It speeds-up the process of interaction as we dont have to write queries, just work with the ORM and let ORM handles the backend. For save or retrieval of large data, I recommend to use Core Data because of its abilities to handle the less processing speed of IPhone.
Steps for using coredata?
NSFetchedResultsController - It is designed primarily to function as a data source for aUITableView
What are the Application lifecycle in ios?
ApplicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOption -ApplicationWillResignActive- ApplicationDidBecomeActive-ApplicationWillTerminate
Difference between release and autorelease?
Release - destroy the object from memory,
Autorelease - destroy the object from memory in future when it is not in use.

- (void)performSelectorInBackground:(SEL)aSelector withObject:(id)arg on NSObject
