Foundation Collections by Kevin Conner

Kevin discusses the various collection classes available to Mac and iOS developers as part of Foundation at CocoaHeads August in Raleigh

Transcript

1. Foundation Collections Kevin Conner @connerk
2. You know these • NSArray • NSDictionary • NSRange • NSNull
3. New syntax • array[i] • dictionary[k] • @[larry, moe, curly] • @{ key: value, foo: bar } • @3, @YES, @(array.count - 1)
4. Let’s talk about sets baby
5. NSSet • -addObject: • -removeObject: • -containsObject: • -anyObject
6. NSIndexSet • -addIndex: • -removeIndex: • -containsIndex: • -enumerateIndexesUsingBlock: • -enumerateRangesUsingBlock: • -countOfIndexesInRange: (et al)
7. Sets can be indexes for other collections • NSSet : NSDictionary :: NSIndexSet : NSArray • [dictionary keySet] • [NSIndexSet indexSetWithRange: • NSMakeRange(0, array.count)]
8. NSSet theory • -intersectsSet: • -isSubsetOfSet: • -unionSet: • -minusSet: • -intersectSet:
9. NSIndexSet theory • -containsIndexes: • -enumerateRangesUsingBlock: • -intersectsIndexesInRange: • -addIndexesInRange: • -removeIndexesInRange:
10. NSCountedSet • -addObject: • -removeObject: • -countForObject: • -initWithArray:
11. "An object can be put into the same pool several times, in which case it receives a release message for each time it was put into the pool."
12. Let’s talk about ordered collections baby
13. NSArray and NSOrderedSet • -objectAtIndex: • -indexOfObject: • -insertObject:atIndex: • -removeObjectAtIndex: • -exchangeObjectAtIndex:withObjectAtIndex:
14. Ordered collections and NSIndexSet • -objectsAtIndexes: • -insertObjects:atIndexes: • -removeObjectsAtIndexes: • -moveObjectsAtIndexes:toIndex: • -shiftIndexesStartingAtIndex:by:
15. Searching • -indexOfObject: • -indexOfObjectPassingTest: • -indexOfObjectAtIndexes:options:passingTest: • -indexOfObject:inSortedRange:objects:usingComparator:
16. Filtering • -objectsPassingTest: • -keysOfEntriesPassingTest: • -indexesPassingTest: • -indexesOfObjectsPassingTest: • -indexesOfObjectsAtIndexes:options:passingTest:
17. intermission
18. Making sets from other collections • +orderedSetWithSet: • +orderedSetWithArray: • +setWithArray • [orderedSet set]
19. Making arrays from sets • [orderedSet array] • -sortedArrayUsingDescriptors:
20. NSSortDescriptor • +sortDescriptorWithKey:ascending: • +sortDescriptorWithKey:ascending:selector: • +sortDescriptorWithKey:ascending:comparator:
21. Invocation • -makeObjectsPerformSelector: • -makeObjectsPerformSelectorWithObject:
22. Concatenation • -componentsJoinedByString:
23. NSCache look it up!
