Class Method Details

+ (Object) setWithCapacity(numItems)

Creates and returns a mutable set with a given initial capacity. Mutable sets allocate additional memory as needed, so numItems simply establishes the object’s initial capacity.

Parameters:

  • numItems (Integer)

    The initial capacity of the new set.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    A mutable set with initial capacity to hold numItems members.

Instance Method Details

- (Object) addObject(object)

Adds a given object to the set, if it is not already a member.

Parameters:

  • object (Object)

    The object to add to the set.

Returns:

- (Object) addObjectsFromArray(array)

Adds to the set each object contained in a given array that is not already a member.

Parameters:

  • array (Array)

    An array of objects to add to the set.

Returns:

- (Object) filterUsingPredicate(predicate)

Evaluates a given predicate against the set’s content and removes from the set those objects for which the predicate returns false. The following example illustrates the use of this method.

Parameters:

Returns:

- (Object) initWithCapacity(numItems)

Returns an initialized mutable set with a given initial capacity. Mutable sets allocate additional memory as needed, so numItems simply establishes the object’s initial capacity.

Parameters:

  • numItems (Integer)

    The initial capacity of the set.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    An initialized mutable set with initial capacity to hold numItems members. The returned set might be different than the original receiver.

- (Object) intersectSet(otherSet)

Removes from the receiving set each object that isn’t a member of another given set.

Parameters:

  • otherSet (NSSet)

    The set with which to perform the intersection.

Returns:

- (Object) minusSet(otherSet)

Removes each object in another given set from the receiving set, if present.

Parameters:

  • otherSet (NSSet)

    The set of objects to remove from the receiving set.

Returns:

- (Object) removeAllObjects

Empties the set of all of its members.

Returns:

- (Object) removeObject(object)

Removes a given object from the set.

Parameters:

  • object (Object)

    The object to remove from the set.

Returns:

- (Object) setSet(otherSet)

Empties the receiving set, then adds each object contained in another given set.

Parameters:

  • otherSet (NSSet)

    The set whose members replace the receiving set's content.

Returns:

- (Object) unionSet(otherSet)

Adds each object in another given set to the receiving set, if not present.

Parameters:

  • otherSet (NSSet)

    The set of objects to add to the receiving set.

Returns:
