You can iterate through an array of strings with a for loop. This requires a new local variable which handles each element of the array of strings as the code iterates through the array.
We have an array called drinks which is populated with string literals. For the sake of ease, I've created a local variable for the for loop called *drink. That will hold each element in turn as the loop moves through the array element by element.
That needs outputting using NSLog. For that, create a string literal with just a placeholder to insert another string and pass in the drink variable. That will log each element one at a time until the loop has reached the end of the array.
All that looks like:
NSArray *drinks = @[@"juice", @"water", @"coffee"];
for (NSString *drink in drinks){
NSLog(@"%@", drink);
}
I hope that helps,
Steve.
