# init(_:withObjCType:) Creates a value object containing the specified value, interpreted with the specified Objective-C type. ``` init(_ value: UnsafeRawPointer, withObjCType type: UnsafePointer) ``` ## Parameters `value` A pointer to data to be stored in the new value object. `type` The Objective-C type of `value`, as provided by the `@encode()` compiler directive. Do not hard-code this parameter as a C string. ## Return Value A new value object that contains `value`, which is interpreted as being of the Objective-C type `type`. ## Discussion This method has the same effect as [`valueWithBytes:objCType:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSValue/valueWithBytes:objCType:) and may be deprecated in a future release. You should use [`valueWithBytes:objCType:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSValue/valueWithBytes:objCType:) instead. ## See Also [`+ valueWithBytes:objCType:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSValue/valueWithBytes:objCType:) Creates a value object containing the specified value, interpreted with the specified Objective-C type. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
