NSNotification Center:-

An NSNotificationCenter object (or simply, notification center) provides a mechanism for broadcasting information within a program. An NSNotificationCenter object is essentially a notification dispatch table.

OBJECTS register with a notification center to receive notifications (NSNotification objects) using the addObserver:selector:name:object: or addObserverForName:object:queue:usingBlock: methods. Each invocation of this method specifies a set of notifications. Therefore, objects may register as observers of different notification sets by calling these methods several times.

Each running Cocoa program has a default notification center. You typically don’t create your own. An NSNotificationCenter object can deliver notifications only within a single program. If you want to post a notification to other processes or receive notifications from other processes, use an instance of NSDistributedNotificationCenter.

         Initially create the file name (b8 notification view controller)

b8 notification view controller .h:

# import  
#import     “second .h”
@interface b8 notification view controller: UIviewController
{
}
@end

b8 notification view controller .m:

-(void)viewDid load
  {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] add observe : selfSelector:@ selector :@ selector (addition) name :@ “ AlgebraNotification” Object
: nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter  defaultCenter ]
                                              addobserver : self
                                              Selector :@ selector (subtraction)
                                                  name :@ “algebra notification”
                                                   Object  : nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter
          PostNotificationName: @ “AlgebraNotification”
                                                             Object: nil];
     [ Super  viewDidLoad];
}
-(void) addition
{
NSLog(@ “ the addition is called”)
}
-(void) Subtraction
{
Ns log(@ “the subtraction is called);
}

Output:– the addition is called

                  The subtraction is called

program for the notification center to create an another class

  NSNotificationSecondViewController. h:-

  # import 
# import         “math .h”
   @ interface NSNotificationSecondViewController :UIViewController
{
}
@end

NSNotificationSecondViewController .m:-

   # import “NSNotificationSecondviewController .h”
   @ implementation NSNotificationSecondviewController
-(void) view Did load
 {

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]

  Add observer :self
     Selector      :  @  selector (addition);

 Name      :    @ “algebra notification”
   Object       : nil];

<strong>[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]</strong>

     add observer  : self
    Selector      :@ selector(subtraction)
       Name       : @ “algebra notification”
        Object       :  nil];

//Create an object to math class:

  Math     *mathobj   =[[math alloc]init];
[[NSNotification center default center]
                                             Add observer    :  mathobj
                                             Selector           :  @ selector  (multiplication);
                                             Name               : @  “algebra notification);

-(void) multiplication

Output:–         addition is called {
