4. [[UIView alloc] init] // Get a view object allocated and initialized
5. // Swift
6. UIView() // Creates an UIView instance with CGRect.zero frame
7. UIView(frame: CGRect) // Creates an UIView instance specifying the frame
8. UIView.addSubview(UIView) // add an another UIView instance as subview
9. UIView.hidden // Get or set the visibility of the view

Remarks

The UIView class defines a rectangular area on the screen and the interfaces for managing the content in that area. At runtime, a view object handles the rendering of any content in its area and also handles any interactions with that content.
