How to add string objects to NSMutableArray

Question

I have an NSMutableArray named randomSelection:

NSMutableArray *randomSelection;

I am then trying to add strings to this array if certain criteria are met:

[randomSelection addObject:@"string1"];

I am then trying to output the string, to determine if it has added it:

NSString *test = [randomSelection objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(test);

However nothing is being output to the error log and I can't figure out why.

Any help/hints appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this:

NSMutableArray *randomSelection = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init]; 
[randomSelection addObject:@"string1"];

Answer 2

Swift :

var randomSelection: [AnyObject] = [AnyObject]()
randomSelection.append("string1")
let test: String = randomSelection[0] as! String
print(test)

OR

let array : NSMutableArray = []
array.addObject("test String")
print(array)

Answer 3

I think you are missing to allocate the memory for array. So try this

NSMutableArray *randomSelection = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[randomSelection addObject:@"string1"];
NSString *test = [randomSelection objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(test);

Answer 4

NSMutableArray *randomSelection =  [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
[randomSelection addObject:@"string1"];

You need to alloc it first.

Answer 5

First allocate the array using following statement & then objects in it.

NSMutableArray *randomSelection =  [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[randomSelection addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"String1"]];
[randomSelection addObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"String2"]];
NSLog(@"Array - %@", randomSelection);

This will definitely solves your problem.

Answer 6

Just allocate your NSMutableArray. You'll get solved your problem.
