===== init =====

<code objc>    

- (instancetype)init
 
</code>

Initializes a newly allocated dictionary.

**Return Value**
- NSDictionary


===== ObjC Sourcecode Example =====

<code objc>

    // ** Init dictionary **
    NSDictionary *myDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc]init];
    
    // ** Output dictionary **
    NSLog(@"myDictionary: %@", myDictionary);

</code>

If you look at the output for this example code, you`ll see that an empty dictionary was initialized! Because this dictionary is immutable it would make more sense to use a init-method that creates it with some entries or at least one entry. For example [[objective-c:foundation.framework:nsdictionary.h:initwithobjectsandkeys|]].

==== Output for this example code ====
<code>

2014-05-30 20:44:47.577 NSDictionary[720:70b] myDictionary: {
}
