三种集合类来收集cocoa对象（NSObject对象）：
NSArray 用于对象有序集合（相当于是数组）
NSSet 用于对象无序集合
NSDictionary用于键值映射
以上三种集合类是不可变的（一旦初始化后，就不能改变）

以下是对应的三种可变集合类(这三种可变集合类是对应上面三种集合类的子类)：
NSMutableArray
NSMutableSet
NSMutableDictionary

注：这些集合类只能收集cocoa对象（NSOjbect对象），如果想保存一些原始的C数据（例如，int, float, double, BOOL等），则需要将这些原始的C数据封装成NSNumber类型的，NSNumber对象是cocoa对象，可以被保存在集合类中。

NSArray
Ordered collection of objects. Immutable. You cannot add or remove objects to it once it’s created.
Important methods:
+ (id)arrayWithObjects:(id)firstObject, ...;     // nil terminated 
- (int)count;
- (id)objectAtIndex:(int)index;                     //  NSString *s1=[[myarray objectAtIndex: 0];
- (void)makeObjectsPerformSelector:(SEL)aSelector;
- (NSArray *)sortedArrayUsingSelector:(SEL)aSelector;
- (id)lastObject; // returns nil if there are no objects in the array (convenient)
注：
类方法arrayWithObjects 可以创建an autoreleased NSArray of the items.例如
@implementation MyObject
- (NSArray *)coolCats {
return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@“Steve”, @“Ankush”, @“Sean”, nil];
}
@end
Other convenient create with methods (all return autoreleased objects):
[NSString stringWithFormat:@“Meaning of %@ is %d”, @“life”, 42];
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:ankush, @“TA”, janestudent, @“Student”, nil];
[NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:(NSString *)path];
-----创建数组 -----
    //NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
    @"One",@"Two",@"Three",@"Four",nil];

self.dataArray = array;
    [array release];

//- (unsigned) Count;数组所包含对象个数；
    NSLog(@"self.dataArray cound:%d",[self.dataArray count]);

//- (id) objectAtIndex: (unsigned int) index;获取指定索引处的对象;
    NSLog(@"self.dataArray cound 2:%@",[self.dataArray objectAtIndex:2]);

------ 从一个数组拷贝数据到另一数组(可变数级) -------

//arrayWithArray:
    //NSArray *array1 = [[NSArray alloc] init];
    NSMutableArray *MutableArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                      @"a",@"b",@"c",nil];
    NSLog(@"array:%@",array);
    MutableArray = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:array];
    NSLog(@"MutableArray:%@",MutableArray);

array1 = [NSArray arrayWithArray:array];
    NSLog(@"array1:%@",array1);

//Copy

//id obj;
    NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSArray *oldArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                         @"a",@"b",@"c",@"d",@"e",@"f",@"g",@"h",nil];

NSLog(@"oldArray:%@",oldArray);
    for(int i = 0; i < [oldArray count]; i++)
    {        
        obj = [[oldArray objectAtIndex:i] copy];
        [newArray addObject: obj];
    }
    //     
    NSLog(@"newArray:%@", newArray);
    [newArray release];

//快速枚举
    //NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSArray *oldArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                         @"a",@"b",@"c",@"d",@"e",@"f",@"g",@"h",nil];   
    NSLog(@"oldArray:%@",oldArray);

for(id obj in oldArray)
    {
        [newArray addObject: obj];
    }
    //     
    NSLog(@"newArray:%@", newArray);
    [newArray release];

//Deep copy

//NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSArray *oldArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                         @"a",@"b",@"c",@"d",@"e",@"f",@"g",@"h",nil];   
    NSLog(@"oldArray:%@",oldArray);   
    newArray = (NSMutableArray*)CFPropertyListCreateDeepCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFPropertyListRef)oldArray, kCFPropertyListMutableContainers);
    NSLog(@"newArray:%@", newArray);
    [newArray release];

//Copy and sort

//NSMutableArray *newArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSArray *oldArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:

NSMutableArray
Mutable version of NSArray.
- (void)addObject:(id)anObject;
- (void)insertObject:(id)anObject atIndex:(int)index;
- (void)removeObjectAtIndex:(int)index;
- (void)removeAllObjects;
