Yes, Objective-C can return objects, etc. although you're nearly always returning a pointer to the object.

e.g.:

- (NSArray *)getSomeStringsInAnArray{

    NSArray *someStrings = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                            @"Hello",
                            @"world",
                            nil];

    return someStrings;
}

I'm guessing you might want to read Apple's "The Objective-C Programming Language" guide, as it gives a good background to such things.
