Clarify xcode obj-c code

This is a simple one, it's just that I can't figure out what it means.

Is it 4 different methods or one method with 4 parameters.

+ (double)doCalc:(float)interestRate
                    numOfCompounds:(int)interestFrequency
                    intialDeposited:(float)deposit
                    lengthOfTimeBanked:(int)period;

What confuses me is where it comes out with numOfCompounds:(int)interestFrequency.

Does it means it's a separate parameter?

Thanks in advance.

That is one method with four parameters. The whitespace and line breaks are there only for readability.

The four parameters are:

  1. interestRate, a float
  2. interestFrequency, an int
  3. deposit, a float
  4. period, an int

The name of the method, without the parameter signatures, is actually

doCalc:numOfCompounds:intialDeposited:lengthOfTimeBanked:

In one of the parts of the signature, for example numOfCompounds:(int)interestFrequency, numOfCompounds is the name of the parameter as seen by the calling code, while interestFrequency is the name of the parameter in the scope of the method.

This is all one method. The method declaration doesn't end until the closing ;.
