01NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
02
03//Setting defaults
04[defaults setInteger:1 forKey:@"myint"];
05[defaults setObject:@"my string" forKey:@"mystring"];
06[defaults setFloat:100.23 forKey:@"myfloat"];
07
08//Getting defaults
09int myint = [defaults intForKey:@"myint"];
10NSString *mystring = [defaults intForKey:@"mystring"];
11float myfloat = [defaults floatForKey:@"myfloat"];
