Example: Objective C method alongside a php method

Question

I am very used to javascript and php programing, and I just jumped into programing Objective C. After working with it for a few weeks, the methods still confused me, as to how it is passing params, and how the methods are named.

Since I am used to php, I am used to seeing:

function myFunc($param1, $param2, $param3, $param4) {
   return FALSE;
}

Could someone show me how this would be written in Objective C, so that I can get used to writing methods that have parameters?

-(int) myFuncWithParam1: (int)param1 andParam2: (int)param2 andParam3: (int)param3 andParam4: (int)param4 {
    return 0;
}

Basically, it's not a good example, because in Objective-C method signatures are supposed to look more appealing to the human and make sense. Like [thingamajig panicWithIntensity: 12 andEagerness: 126]. But you're free to do it differently, of course.

So, basically the method name is broken up into pieces?

@Nic exactly! It's a convenient way to remember what each parameter is supposed to do.
