Some of these classes specify data structures, for example NSSet, NSString, NSNumber, however others specify general functionality provided by any modern programming languages, such as NSTimer, NSException, and so on.

Mutable datatypes represent stored data which can be changed, while non-mutable datatypes can not be changed after they are set.
