Is there an easy way to programmatically get the alphabet?

Question

I want an NSArray/NSMutableArray containing all the letters of the alphabet. There must be a quick and easy way, better than typing them all out. For example in PHP

Answer 1

The array generated for table index titles may also be used. It does not use a for loop and has multi-language support.

NSMutableArray *alphabets = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:[[UILocalizedIndexedCollation currentCollation] sectionIndexTitles]];

//Remove the last object (extra), '#' from the array.
[alphabets removeLastObject];
