Objective-C - How to compare arrays and extract the difference?
Possible duplicate: comparing-two-arrays
I have two NSArray and I'd like to create a new Array with objects from the second array but not included in the first array.
Example:
NSMutableArray *firstArray = [NSMutableArray ar开发者_JAVA百科rayWithObjects:@"Bill", @"Ben", @"Chris", @"Melissa", nil];
NSMutableArray *secondArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Bill", @"Paul", nil];
The resulting array should be:
[@"Paul", nil];
I solved this problem with a double loop comparing objects into the inner one.
Is there a better solutions ?
[secondArray removeObjectsInArray:firstArray];
This idea was taken from another answer.
If duplicate items are not significant in the arrays, you can use the minusSet:
operation of NSMutableSet
:
NSMutableArray *firstArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Bill", @"Ben", @"Chris", @"Melissa", nil];
NSMutableArray *secondArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"Bill", @"Paul", nil];
NSSet *firstSet = [NSSet setWithArray:firstArray];
NSMutableSet *secondSet = [NSMutableSet setWithCapacity:[secondArray count]];
[secondSet addObjectsFromArray:secondArray];
[secondSet minusSet:firstSet]; // result is in `secondSet`
I want to compare images from two NSArray. One Array, I was getting from Core Database. Second I have constant array objects.
I want to know that object of second array is present in Core database or not.
Here is code which i used.
// All object from core data and take into array.
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc]initWithEntityName:@"student"];
NSArray *dbresult = [[NSArray alloc]init];
NSError *error;
@try {
dbresult = [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
NSString *logerror = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"error in fetching Rooms from coredata = %@",exception.description];
NSLog(logerror)
}
@finally {
}
/*
Get Unused images from list
*/
NSMutableArray *usedImages = [dbresult valueForKey:@"roomImageLocalPath"];
NSMutableSet *fSet = [NSMutableSet setWithArray:usedImages];
NSMutableSet *sSet = [NSMutableSet setWithCapacity:[newImages count]];
[sSet addObjectsFromArray:newImages];
[sSet minusSet:fSet];
NSArray *unusedImages = [secondSet allObjects];
NSLog(@"unusedImages %@",unusedImages);
