does NSLog work the same as System.out.print in Java?

Question

I am migrating from Java to Objective-C, so having a bit easy but meaningful question,

can I do

NSLog(@"\n"); // instead of 
System.out.println();

and

NSLog (@"%i",a); //instead of 
System.out.print(a);

Answer 1

Yes. NSLog prints the message to stderr. The only difference from printf is that it adds some extra info (like time and build name). printf prints to stdout.

Answer 2

Sort of, but not quite. NSLog prints to stderr, and to the system log.
