Cocoa - array not sorting?
I have this set
NSMutableSet *mySet = [NSMutableSet setWithObjects: @"2", @"8", @"7", @"0", @"3", nil];
I copy the set to an array and sort it using
NSArray *sortedArray = [[mySet allObjects] sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];
The resulting array is in exactly the same order as the set and is not being sorted. Why?
thanks for any开发者_JAVA百科 help.
EDIT: CORRECTING A TYPO.
I pasted and ran you code like this:
NSMutableSet *mySet = [NSMutableSet setWithObjects: @"2", @"8", @"7", @"0", @"3", nil];
NSLog(@"mySet=%@",mySet);
NSArray *sortedArray = [[mySet allObjects] sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];
NSLog(@"sortedArray=%@",sortedArray);
Which outputs:
2010-03-17 11:06:27.982 iPhoneTestBed[41907:207] mySet={(
0,
2,
7,
8,
3
)}
2010-03-17 11:06:27.984 iPhoneTestBed[41907:207] sortedArray=(
0,
2,
3,
7,
8
)
I think your problem is with your logging of the sorted array. Perhaps you're accidentally logging the set instead of the array. I wasted half a day once doing that.
Uhm, it correctly sorts, once I corrected the set construction to
NSMutableSet *mySet = [NSMutableSet setWithObjects: @"2", @"8", @"7", @"0", @"3", nil];
Remember, "abc"
is a char*
, which is a primitive type which you rarely use in Objective-C, and you can't put it in NSArray
.
@"abc"
is the NSString
, which is an object.
