getting the object passed to the NSThread selector

Question

When I\'m creating an NSThread I pass it a number that I want the process to be aware of. I can understand how to set the number but I cannot figure out how to read the numb

Answer 1

You're specifying your selector wrong:

@selector(startTimerThread)   // we are missing ':' at the end

It should have : at the end, like so:

@selector(startTimerThread:) 

This indicates it's a selector which takes one parameter.

Then take in the parameter in your startTimerThread method:

-(void) startTimerThread:(NSNumber *)myNumber {
    // ... etc
