From CocoaHeads:
To sum it up, you can create an NSDictionary through the following:
dict = @{ k1 : o1, k2 : o2, k3 : o3 };
Similarly for an NSArray:
array = @[ a, b, c ];
and for NSNumber:
NSNumber *number;
number = @'X';
number = @12345;
number = @12345ul;
number = @12345ll;
number = @123.45f;
number = @123.45;
number = @YES;
