Re: Does this caution need fixed? (newb)

My code is like this:

NSMutableString *theSettings;
theSettings = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];

//myPrefs is an array of strings, each item is like "Library/Safari"

int i;
   for (i = 0; i < 8; i++
   {
theSettings = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[myPrefs objectAtIndex:i]];
....
}

Thinking about it, do I need the alloc and init commands? Sometimes I am unsure about what needs alloc or init versus what I can just declare as a variable without doing that.

Thanks for your help!
