    How can I get the name of the button instead of its title?
    ex: if you click on button1 they log will be "button1"

    thanx!

    .h
    Code:
    IBOutlet UIButton *button1, *button2,*button3,*button4,*button5,*button6,*button7,*button8;
-(IBAction)tapped:(id)sender;
    .m
    Code:
    -(IBAction)tapped:(id)sender{

	NSString *buttonNumber = [sender titleForState:UIControlStateNormal];
	NSLog(@"%s",buttonNumber);
	
}

    Well if you have 24 buttons, I believe you can use IB to set a tag for each button, although I don't have it installed at the moment. Then you can use sender.tag to more easily identify each button.
