Can Objective-C switch on NSString?

Question

Is there a more intelligent way to rewrite this?

if ([cardName isEqualToString:@\"Six\"]) {
    [self setValue:6];
} else if ([cardName isEqualToString:@\"Se         


        

Answer 1

I'm kind of late to the party, but to answer the question as stated, there's a more intelligent way:

NSInteger index = [@[@"Six", @"Seven", @"Eight", @"Nine"] indexOfObject:cardName];
if (index != NSNotFound) [self setValue: index + 6];

Note that indexOfObject will look for the match using isEqual:, exactly as in the question.
