If i have an mystery object of type id, how do i convert it to a string? Is there an e开发者_开发知识库asier way than the below?

NSString *stringVal = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", mysteryIdObject];

[NSObject description] is probably what you're looking for.

You need to be more specific about what you want. NSObject has a -description method, which is intended for use when debugging. Many other classes (like NSNumber) respond to -stringValue.
