Best way in what sense ?

code size ?
speed ?
code cleanliness ?

Why not have the while(sure) out of func ?

(void) print:(NSString*) str {
    NSLog(@“%@”, str);
}

while(true)  {
  [self print:@“123”];
  [self print:@“ABC”];
  [self print:@“456”];
  [self print:@“DEF”];
}

We can implement using NSLock or Semaphore. So need which one is better. shouldnt hardcore the strings within while loop, that’s why l put it in a function
