NSMutableArray initialization

Question

I'm very newby on Objective C. I've read a lot of topics related but couldn't get solution. I'm using a NSMutableArray, and alloc and init by the following mode:

events = [[NSMutableSet alloc] init];

Is it right? In this way, I can add objects to the array without problems, but when I iterate or to read, I got SIGABRT: unrecognized selector sent to instance. Attempting several modifications, the best I could get was another exception: EXC_BAD_ADDRESS. The line I'm using to read the array is:

Event *event = [events objectAtIndex:1];

Thanks in advance.

• Dirk: Hm. You are talking about NSMutableArray but do NSMutableSet alloc... ?

Answer 1

you have said you are using NSMutableArrays, but then initialised a set, try using:

NSMutableArray *events = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

sets don't respond to objectAtIndex, because they are unordered. if you want an object out of a set, you can call anyObject on it. or you can use enumeration to go through all objects. eg

id obj=[events anyObject];

or

for(id obj in events){
 NSLog(@"%@",obj);
} 

Answer 2

What's going on in between? Remember that arrays are zero-indexed; there may not be two elements in there. Try using the count method.

Answer 3

events = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[events addObject:event1];
[events addObject:event2]
for (int i = 0; i < [events count]; i++) {
 Event *event = (Event)[events objectAtIndex:i];
 NSLog("Event: %@", event);
 [event release];
}

Like this.
