i do not need of XYZ i need only subject..
sorry i can not show what i want but please understand my question and give me the answer

Use NSMutableDictionary instead NSMutableArray.
From documentation.
The NSMutableDictionary class declares the programmatic interface to
objects that manage mutable associations of keys and values. It adds
modification operations to the basic operations it inherits from
NSDictionary.

Adding Items from Lists to Dictionaries in Apple Shortcuts

I have this Shortcut which queries a Notion database, then fetches the IDs and titles of pages from the database and turns them into key : value pairs.
I want to add those key : value pairs to the dictionary shown at the top of the screenshot. The problem is, even though I can see that I'm adding to the dictionary inside the Repeat With Each Item loop -
When I check the contents of my Categories dictionary at the end of the Shortcut, those entries haven't been saved.
I have seen this answer, which appears to solve the same problem. But when I implement it and then check the contents of the variable inside the loop, nothing is even being set here.
I'd be very grateful for any pointers here.
I figured out the problem - I needed to set the dictionary as a variable outside the loop -
And then I can update the dictionary inside the loop -
I don't know why that works but it does ¯\(ツ)/¯

How to iterate over the properties of my models in objective c?

I want to iterate over the properties of my models in Objective-C. I tried this. Created PropertyUtil class with method classPropsFor:(Class)klass. Please find the attachment. Used objc/runtime.h. The code which I got from the net. In my viewcontroller I am doing this. [PropertyUtil classPropsFor:[self.user class]];. self.user is User model class. What I want to know is how can i iterate over the properties of my models, let's username, password and those values.
You may want to manually list all properties your model has.
Just add a method to your model:
+(NSArray*) propList {
return #[#"prop1", #"prop2"];
}
Then just use key-value coding to get the value
[someObject valueForKey:#"prop1"];
That's pretty straight and simple way if you wish to avoid Obj-C meta functions. Since you add your properties manually anyway, you may also add them in your list as well.
That's of course, if you don't have a large amount of models already and you wish do them all at once.

How to sort UITableView headers according to declaration order

So I have a little problem here, I think I made my point clear in the title of this post. I want to sort UITableView headers according to the order I declared them in code. I tried surfing the net already but I can't find any solution.
I think one from here can help. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This is my code to of the table view contents
NSDictionary *temp = [[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:accSettingsOpts, #"Account",notifSettingsOpts,#"Notifications",aboutOpts,#"About",logoutOpt,#"Sign Out",nil];
I want to display the table view sorted by
-Account
-Notifications
-About
-Sign Out
But it displays as
-About
-Account
-Notifications
-Sign Out
EDIT: This is how the problem is addressed.
Based from the answer provided in which I accepted below, I modified it as
#interface myClass ()
NSArray *headerArr;
#end
at viewDidload I added
headerArr = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:#"Account",#"Notifications",#"About",#"Sign Out", nil];
and lastly...
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return [headerArr objectAtIndex:section];
}
Thanks for the help guys. I didn't imagine that it's just that simple.
A dictionary is an unordered collection. If you store your items in a dictionary, the order in which you defined them is not saved anywhere.
Table views are an inherently ordered list of objects. Therefore a dictionary is not suitable as a way of storing the items for a table view. An array, however, makes a natural data source for a table view.
Use an array rather than a dictionary. It's as simple as that. You can use an array of dictionaries, or an array of some other data objects, and then write your cellForRowAtIndexPath method to extract the data from your model (array elements) and install the values in the cell.
The reason the order is different from the declaration order is that NSDictionary is unordered: it is sorted based on the hash code of your strings, which is rather arbitrary.
To force a particular order, use a container with a fixed order, such as NSArray. For example, you can store your accSettingsOpts, notifSettingsOpts, and so on, in a single array, add a header property to the Opts class, and pull that property to set section headers in your UITableView.

iOS - Saving NSMutableArray to iPhone

I'll ask in the form of a hypothetical, which might make it easier for me to explain.
I have a class called Person, and in this has three fields:
NSString *name;
NSDate *dateOfBirth; and
NSMutableArray *friends.
An example object is this:
name = "John Smith"
dateOfBirth = 01/04/1985
friends = "Simon Scott"; "Jennifer Lane"; "Mary Firth"
Once the user has filled the NSMutableArray with the data they want, what would be the best way to save this data to the iPhone? I would anticipate that there could be up to 100 instances of the Person object, and all that will be required is the displaying of this data in a UITableView and giving the user the ability to add and remove entries at their will.
I have seen multiple suggestions on this site, which include NSDictionaries and using the writeToFile method, but before I research one of these, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I would like to ensure that I'll be using the easiest and most appropriate method that's out there.
Many thanks.
Please take a look at the Property List Programming Guide. As long as you stick with a core set of object types for your data, you can write and read your data from a file or URL in one line, like this:
[people writeToURL:someURL atomically:NO];
The types you've mentioned in your question (strings, dates, arrays, dictionaries) can all be written to a property list.
#Achiral,
It really depends on what you want to do with the data and how concerned you are with the flexibility of your code.
However, my recommendation would be to use CoreData to make an SQLlite database and make a 'Person' entity with the properties that you list above. I don't know if you are familiar with CoreData, but it is highly optimized on iOS and is pretty easy to use, since it has a pretty simple 'fill in the blanks' style form for creating the data models. You should also note that CoreData is a well accepted and supported way to store data in an iOS and OS X app.
I hope this helps.

Objective-C Storing Information

In an iPhone app, the User can create Items - each Item needs to have a CGPoint, NSString and a few integers with information about it. The User can keep adding these Items.
How can I store all these variables for each of the Items and programmatically keep adding them to a list or array or something?
I tried using a struct array but it can't hold a NSString. I tried using a NSMutableAray of a custom class, but I can only add them if I make and name them by hand.
Any suggestions, ideas? Could I use a NSDictionary?
Use an NSArray or NSMutableArray, but you have to wrap your non-object values (CGPoints and integers) in wrapper objects. The integers can be wrapped in NSNumbers and the points can be wrapped in NSValues.
Create an Item class, that contains your CGPoint, NSString, and any other piece of info you want. Then, make an NSMutableArray and add new instances of your Item class as you see fit. NSDictionary and NSArray aren't really what you're looking for.
