Basic array comparison algorithm

Question

I\'m trying to follow the steps found here on comparing two arrays, and knowing when to create a new object, but I just don\'t understand how it works:

Answer 1

Try something like this:

//Employee.h
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger ID;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *name;

//Employee.m
@synthesize ID, name;



//Place where you put algorithm
#import "Employee.h"
------------------------
NSMutableArray *employeeIDs = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:123], [NSNumber numberWithInt:456], [NSNumber numberWithInt:789], nil];

//Creates employee objects
Employee *employee1 = [[Employee alloc] init];
employee1.ID = 123;
employee1.name = @"John Smith";

Employee *employee2 = [[Employee alloc] init];
employee2.ID = 456;
employee2.name = @"Bob Day";

Employee *employee3 = [[Employee alloc] init];
employee3.ID = 789;
employee3.name = @"Steve Jobs";

NSMutableArray *employeesArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:employee1, employee2, employee3, nil];

for (int index = 0; index <= [employeeIDs count]; index++) {

    for(id currentEmployee in employeesArray){

        if(currentEmployee.ID != currentID){

            Employee *newEmployee = [[Employee alloc] init];
            newEmployee.name = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Employee Name"];
            newEmployee.ID = 384;

            [employeeIDs addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:newEmployee.ID]];
            [employees addObject:newEmployee.name];

        }
    }
}

Hope this helps!
