Question

What is the best practice, even in general programming, when you have an undefined, possibly infinite, amount of items that you need in an array but don’t have defined bounds. Can you define an endless array in objective c that you can keep pushing items onto, like other lanaguages have a list item.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Well, your question refers to Objective-C, but if you are using the Cocoa frameworks, there is the
NSMutableArray
class

Use as so:

[NSMutableArray array];
[array addObject:anObject];
