Obj -C method declaration Classes/Objects

We beginners get confused when a method declaration has two or more arguments and I think it is always explained using withVariable or "create" or "and" and we think it is part of the mandatory syntax and this is confusing.

eg: 

-(void) createBudget:(double) aBudget withExchangeRate: (float) anExchangeRate;

The format is

-(void) someMethod:(someType) value1  secondValue: (anotherType) value2 thirdValue:

(anotherType) value3;

So if the following declaration is correct I finally understand it. Please confirm:

-(void) myMethod: (int) x aSecondValue: (float) y aThirdValue: (double) z;

and the names of these 3 methods are

Please confirm that "with" is not part of the mandatory syntax and that my third method declaration is acceptable.

Thanx.

The actual method signatures would be:

createbudget:withExchangeRate:
someMethod:secondValue:thirdValue:
myMethod:aSecondValue:athirdValue:

(note the extra colon at the end of the rightmost argument)

"with", "and".. are in no way mandatory. You can use whatever wording you like, but I think it helps keep things clear.
