Question

NSMutableArray *sectionTitles;
[sectionTitles addObject:due];

How do I just add unique values to an array?

Answer 1

See Rudolph’s Answer

My old answer below is now outdated and has been for awhile. Rudoph’s reference to NSOrderedSet / NSMutableOrderedSet is the correct one since these classes were added after this Q and my A.

Old Answer

As Richard said, NSMutableSet works well but only if you don’t need to maintain an ordered collection. If you do need an ordered collection a simple content check is the best you can do:

if (![myMutableArray containsObject:newObject])
    [myMutableArray addObject:newObject];

Update based on comment

You can wrap this in a method like -addUniqueObject: and put it in an NSMutableArray category.
