Question

I am calling a method from another class, this method returns a NSMutableArray however I am not sure how to receive the returned data from the method…

I call it like this

ResultItem *resultItem = [[ResultItem alloc] init];
[resultItem startSortingTheArray:myObjectArray];

Then inside the ResultItem class I am setting the method like this

- (NSMutableArray *)startSortingTheArray:(NSMutableArray *)unsortedArray
{
//... blaa blaa blaaa then....
return unsortedArray; // how do I capture this value in the other class I called it from?
}

Answer 1

- (NSMutableArray *)startSortingTheArray:(NSMutableArray *)unsortedArray

method provides you an NSMutableArray in return…just store it in a variable!!

NSMutableArray *val=[resultItem startSortingTheArray:myObjectArray];
