Easier way to add lots of images to an array

Question

Hey Guys

In an effort to 'clean up' my code - I was wondering if this could be made simpler. I have 32 images and I was adding them like this

 [theCarPics addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:@"1.jpg"]];
 [theCarPics addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:@"2.jpg"]];
 //...
 [theCarPics addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:@"32.jpg"]];

is there a simpler way? loop perhaps?

Any ideas would be appreciated guys

Thanks

Sam

Answer 1

for (int c=1; c<=kNumberOfCars; c++)
{
    NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i.jpg", c];
    [theCarPics addObject:[UIImage imageNamed:fileName]];
}

Update: The kNumberOfCars is just a constant, of course. You can replace it by an actual value or (better) declare it somewhere at the top of your file:

static const int kNumberOfCars = 32;
