Hi,

I've seen in (Apple) sample code two types of ways of allocation memory, and am not sure I understand the difference and resulting behavior.

// FAILS
NSMutableArray *anArray = [NSMutableArray array];
[anArray release];

// WORKS
NSMutableArray *anArray1 = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[anArray release];

By "FAILS" I mean I get crashes/runtime warnings etc., and not always as soon as I call the release...

Any explanation appreciated.

Thanks
