Basically, what I am trying to accomplish is a "shift and roll" of the objects in "anArray." I want to shift every object to the next higher position and "roll" the last object to the first position in the array.

How about this alternative implementation:

if ([array count] > 1)
{
	[array insertObject: [array lastObject] atIndex: 0];
	[array removeLastObject];
}

If you choose to retain your own implementation, keep in mind that you would at least need to retain your "roller" object while it's not in the array - The array could be the only one retaining it, and in that case your implementation would crash!

There also seems to be something wrong with your for-statement (should be "x==1", and not "x=1"), but I guess that's a simple typo?

Finally, as a matter style, I think that this method should always return the original array, and never *nil* (unless of course, the argument to the method is *nil* - in which case you might want to consider raising an exception).

PS: An alternative approach, and perhaps something that could serve as a tiny exercise for new students of ObjC+Cocoa: This functionality seems like something that could be added as a category to NSMutableArray, rather than as a method in some other class.
