I am learning KVC and KVO. In my demo which from a tutorial, it has two different print when I run the same code.
My class declaration, implementation, and main.m
@interface Character:NSObject
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *characterName;
@property NSInteger ownedClowCards;
-(void)hasLostClowCard;
-(void)hasGainedClowCard;
@end
@implementation Character
-(void)hasLostClowCard
{
NSLog(@"%@ has lost a card! Cards now: %ld", _characterName, _ownedClowCards);
}
-(void)hasGainedClowCard
{
NSLog(@"%@ has earned a card! Cards now: %ld", _characterName, _ownedClowCards);
}
-(void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary<NSKeyValueChangeKey,id> *)change context:(void *)context
{
if([keyPath isEqualToString:@"ownedClowCards"])
{
NSNumber *oldC = [change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeOldKey];
[oldC integerValue];
NSNumber *newC = [change objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey];
[newC integerValue];
NSLog(@" newC = %@ ", newC);
NSLog(@" oldC = %@", oldC);
if(oldC < newC)
{
NSLog(@" invoke gain method");
[self hasGainedClowCard];
}else
{
NSLog(@"invoke lost method");
[self hasLostClowCard];
}
}
}
int main() {
Character *sakura;
//Created and give the properties some values with KVC...
sakura = [[Character alloc] init];
[sakura setValue:@"Sakura Kinomoto" forKey:@"characterName"];
[sakura setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:20] forKey:@"ownedClowCards"];
//Done! Now we are going to fetch the values using KVC.
NSString *mainCharacter = [sakura valueForKey:@"characterName"];
NSNumber *mainCharCards = [sakura valueForKey:@"ownedClowCards"];
NSLog(@"%@ has %d Clow Cards", mainCharacter, [mainCharCards intValue]);
//Here begins the KVO section.
[sakura addObserver:sakura forKeyPath:@"ownedClowCards" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew | NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld context:nil];
[sakura setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:2] forKey:@"ownedClowCards"];
[sakura removeObserver:sakura forKeyPath:@"ownedClowCards"];
}
I have different print when I run many times. There are two examples:
2019-01-24 00:07:12.469612+0800 CardCaptorChars[48275:1711978] Sakura Kinomoto has 20 Clow Cards

and

I expect the output is only, but it shows two print when I run it again.
Your code is not comparing the old and new values; it's comparing the addresses of the old and new value objects, which can be just about anything.
You need this code
if ([oldC integerValue] < [newC integerValue])
And read up on NSNumber
