Should I call [super superMethod] after or before my own code?

Question

[sorry for weak english]

The question is simple (but I have problems expressing it and finding it on google) ...

Should I (in all such cases when I redefine a super method, not just this one) use:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    /*
       my code
     */

    [super viewDidLoad];
}

or

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    /*
       my code
     */
}

or does it depend?

Answer 1

in some cases, the order does not matter. in others, the order is critical.

Some generalizations that will help:

• When you create a part of the state of the object ( viewDidLoadand init...), first call super.
• when you destroy part of the state of an object ( viewDidUnloador dealloc), call superlast.
• , , super .

Answer 2

; -[super init] () vs -[super dealloc] ().
