Xcode Objective-C Mutable Array Primer Tutorial

Xcode Objective-C Mutable Array Primer Tutorial

Have you heard of Objective-C? It is a great object-oriented programming language that builds that object orientation on top of a C programming base. Sounds good (even better than good), and Objective-C is the language of iOS Mobile Apps, so it is definitely in the category of up and coming programming languages. Let’s see what Wikipedia says about it below.

Objective-C is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. It is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.

Originally developed in the early 1980s, it was selected as the main language used by NeXT for its NeXTSTEP operating system, from which OS X and iOS are derived.[1] Generic Objective-C programs that do not use the Cocoa or Cocoa Touch libraries, or using parts that is ported or reimplemented for other systems can also be compiled for any system supported by GCC or Clang.

In this primer tutorial we see how Xcode can supervise an Objective-C Desktop Application project to define a Mutable Array, add to it (on the fly), and then sort it.

Regarding this Objective-C Mutable Array tutorial topic I really like “Objective-C” Visual Quickstart Guide by Steven Holzner.

Here are links to programming source code which shows some use of NSMutableArray (resizable arrays), which you should rename to main.m

Link to Objective-C more information … via Wikipedia, where quote above came from..
