排序

逆序，array.reverseObjectEnumerator.allObjects
数组中是字符串对象排序首选sortedArrayUsingSelector:

NSArray *array = @[@"John Appleseed", @"Tim Cook", @"Hair Force One", @"Michael Jurewitz"];
NSArray *sortedArray = [array sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];

存储内容是数字

NSArray *numbers = @[@9, @5, @11, @3, @1];
NSArray *sortedNumbers = [numbers sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(compare:)];

使用函数指针sortedArrayHint排序

- (NSData *)sortedArrayHint;
- (NSArray *)sortedArrayUsingFunction:(NSInteger (*)(id, id, void *))comparator
     context:(void *)context;
- (NSArray *)sortedArrayUsingFunction:(NSInteger (*)(id, id, void *))comparator
     context:(void *)context hint:(NSData *)hint;

基于block的排序方法

- (NSArray *)sortedArrayUsingComparator:(NSComparator)cmptr;
- (NSArray *)sortedArrayWithOptions:(NSSortOptions)opts
     usingComparator:(NSComparator)cmptr;

性能比较selector最快

Sorting 1000000 elements. selector: 4947.90[ms] function: 5618.93[ms] block: 5082.98[ms].

更快的二分查找

typedef NS_OPTIONS(NSUInteger, NSBinarySearchingOptions) {
     NSBinarySearchingFirstEqual = (1UL << 8),
     NSBinarySearchingLastEqual = (1UL << 9),
     NSBinarySearchingInsertionIndex = (1UL << 10),
};

- (NSUInteger)indexOfObject:(id)obj
     inSortedRange:(NSRange)r
     options:(NSBinarySearchingOptions)opts
     usingComparator:(NSComparator)cmp;

//Time to search for 1000 entries within 1000000 objects. Linear: 54130.38[ms]. Binary: 7.62[ms]

枚举

使用indexesOfObjectsWithOptions:passingTest:

NSIndexSet *indexes = [randomArray indexesOfObjectsWithOptions:NSEnumerationConcurrent
     passingTest:^BOOL(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
     return testObj(obj);
}];
NSArray *filteredArray = [randomArray objectsAtIndexes:indexes];

传统的枚举

NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [NSMutableArray array];
for (id obj in randomArray) {
     if (testObj(obj)) {
          [mutableArray addObject:obj];
     }
}

block方式枚举

NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [NSMutableArray array];
[randomArray enumerateObjectsUsingBlock:^(id obj, NSUInteger idx, BOOL *stop) {
     if (testObj(obj)) {
          [mutableArray addObject:obj];
     }
}];

通过下标objectAtIndex:

NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSUInteger idx = 0; idx < randomArray.count; idx++) {
     id obj = randomArray[idx];
     if (testObj(obj)) {
          [mutableArray addObject:obj];
     }
}

使用比较传统的学院派NSEnumerator

NSMutableArray *mutableArray = [NSMutableArray array];
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [randomArray objectEnumerator];
id obj = nil;
while ((obj = [enumerator nextObject]) != nil) {
     if (testObj(obj)) {
          [mutableArray addObject:obj];
     }
}

使用predicate

NSArray *filteredArray2 = [randomArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithBlock:^BOOL(id obj, NSDictionary *bindings) {
     return testObj(obj);
}]];

各个方法枚举时间参考，indexesOfObjectsWithOptions在开启了并发枚举的情况下比NSFastEnumeration快一倍。
