• Everything with a * on the left is pointer. So *str is a pointer. And where is it point? to an object NSString. The @"blabla" returns the adress of one CONSTANT string that has generated directly by the compiler.

All objects have +Description method that inherit from the NSObject (note is Class method and not instant).
