NSMutableArray indexOfObject returning an extremely large number

Question

I have an NSMutableArray returning an extremely large index?

po [masterArray count] < returns \"2\"

NSUInteger theIndex = [masterArray indexOfObject:valida         


        

Answer 1

That's the value for NSNotFound. This means the object you are looking for isn't in the array.

Answer 2

Try it like this. validateEnrollmentStatus is not present in masterArray. So you can probably add a check for that before you try to get the indexOfObject.

    NSUInteger theIndex = 0;

    if ([masterArray containsObject:validateEnrollmentStatus]) {
        theIndex = [masterArray indexOfObject:validateEnrollmentStatus];
    } else {
        NSLog(@"%@ is not present in masterArray", validateEnrollmentStatus);
    }
