What is the difference between init, initialize and awakeFromNib functions. All all are similar to constructors.

You seem to have forgotten the + and - signs in front of the methods names:
+initialize initialises a Class (not an instance)
-init initialises and instance
-awakeFromNib initialises a de-serialised instance being created from a nib.
The last two are different as in the latter you can be sure any outlets connected in the nib are connects but this is not true in the former.

I didn't understand what do u mean by "you can be sure any outlets connected in the nib are connects" in your response
Exactly what I said. If you create an instance of this object in nib file then any outlets will not be connected when init gets called but will be when awakeFromNib is called.
