UIImageView * XXX = [[UIImageView分配] initWithImage：XXX]

Question

WHat does this line of code :

UIImageView* flakeView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:flakeImage];

if it help Then I have this :

int startX2 = round(random() % 480);
// set the flake start position
flakeView.frame = CGRectMake(startX2, 330.0, 30,  20);
flakeView.alpha = 1;

// put the flake in our main view
[self.view addSubview:flakeView];

Answer 1

The line:

UIImageView* flakeView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:flakeImage];

creates a container "UIImageView" object that contains an image "UIImage" stored in an ivar flakeImage

The rest of the code positions flakeView on the main view with assigned x,y,width and hight properties.
