If all you want is get each elements of your set in turn, you should do like everbody does :

while (myObject = [myEnumerator nextObject])
{
    doSomething;
}

file:///Developer/ADC Reference Library/documentation/Cocoa/ Reference/Foundation/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSEnumerator.html#// apple_ref/doc/uid/20000142-BCICDDHA says :
"When nextObject returns nil, all objects have been enumerated."

Hello,

I'm currently busy with a project where I regularly make use of a NSEnumerator object to iterate over a set of objects. The "problem" I'm experiencing is that there is no method to peek at the next object (for example [enumerator hasNext]). I circumvent the need to peek via the enumerator with counting the objects of the enumerator ([[enumerator allObjects] count]) and check when the last element is reached (and do something).

The questions :
- Why didn't the AppKit developers include this (the hasNext method) in the first place?
- How do other developers conquer this problem?


With kind regards,
Jan Vereecken
