Fetch last five values from NSMutableArray

Question

I have a NSMutableArray whose count is 10 and I want to extract the last 5 values and store them in another array. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I think that - (NSArray *) subarrayWithRange:(NSRange)range (doc) might help you.

NSRange theRange;
theRange.location = [wholeArray count] - 5;
theRange.length = 5;
NSArray *result = [wholeArray subarrayWithRange:theRange];

EDIT : Be careful to check that your array has at least five elements, else, subarrayWithRange will throw an exception.
