Question

If I want to pop the last item from my NSMutableArray would this be the most proper way?

id theObject = [myMutableArray objectAtIndex:myMutableArray.count-1];
[myMutableArray removeLastObject];

I’m sure someone from SOF has a better way.

Answer 1

Retain it, delete it, use it, release it.

id theObject = [[myMutableArray lastObject] retain];
[myMutableArray removeLastObject];
//use theObject....
[theObject release];
