How Do I Declare A Block in Objective-C?

As a local variable:

returnType (^blockName)(parameterTypes) = ^returnType(parameters) {…};
As a property:

@property (nonatomic, copy) returnType (^blockName)(parameterTypes);
As a method parameter:

• (void)someMethodThatTakesABlock:(returnType(^)(parameterTypes))blockName;
  As an argument to a method call:

[someObject someMethodThatTakesABlock:^returnType (parameters) {…}];
As a typedef:

typedef returnType (^TypeName)(parameterTypes);
TypeName blockName = ^returnType(parameters) {…};
This site is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible uses of blocks.
If you find yourself needing syntax not listed here, it is likely that a typedef would make your code more readable.
