Question

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here? I have tried various combinations to try and copy an array into variable mmm. I am trying to learn how to create a 2D array and then run a loop to place init_array into 10 columns.

// NSMutableArray *mmm = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: 20];
NSMutableArray *kkk = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects: @"a", @"b", @"cat", @"dog", nil];
NSMutableArray *mmm; //= [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects: @"1", @"2", @"3", @"4", nil];

[mmm arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:kkk];

NSLog(@"Working: %@",[mmm objectAtIndex:3]);

thanks…

so this works from the given answer:

NSMutableArray *mmm = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity: 20];
NSMutableArray *kkk = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects: @"a", @"b", @"cat", @"dog", nil];

[mmm addObjectsFromArray:kkk];

NSLog(@"Working: %@",[mmm objectAtIndex:3]);

Answer 1

arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray: returns a new (autoreleased) NSArray object. What you want is addObjectsFromArray:.
