| NSScriptingComparisonMethods |
Mac OS X 10.0 |
This informal protocol declares methods that are appropriate for use
in
comparing scriptable objects. Many Cocoa
classes provide default implementations of these methods as part of
the built-in support for scripting. This is especially true for the
Foundation classes such as NSString,
NSNumber, and NSDate that
represent basic data types in a scripting environment. When a
specifier test object evaluates a Boolean expression, it tries to
invoke methods of this protocol in the relevant objects. If neither
of the objects implement the necessary methods, then the scripting
system will try to invoke methods from the
NSComparisonMethods protocol.
