How to inverse the contents of NSArray in Objective-C?

Question

Hello,

How do i inverse the contents of NSArray in Objective-C?

Assume that i have an array which holds these data

NSArray arrayObj = [[NSArray alloc]init];
arrayObj atindex 0 holds this: "1972"
arrayObj atindex 1 holds this: "2005"
arrayObj atindex 2 holds this: "2006"
arrayObj atindex 3 holds this: "2007"

Now i want to inverse the order of array like this:

arrayObj atindex 0 holds this: "2007"
arrayObj atindex 1 holds this: "2006"
arrayObj atindex 2 holds this: "2005"
arrayObj atindex 3 holds this: "1972"

How to achive this??

Thank You.

Answer 1

Iterate over your array in reverse order and create a new one whilst doing so:

NSArray *originalArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"1997", @"2005", @"2006", @"2007",nil];

NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:nil];

for (int i = [originalArray count]-1; i>=0; --i)
{
    [newArray addObject:[originalArray objectAtIndex:i]];
}

NSArray* reversed = [[originalArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];
