#arraytools

This is a set of methods to ease the handling of NSArray.
So far it includes methods using blocks to enable functional-style programming

array = [array arrayByPerformingBlock:^id  (id element) {return [NSNumber numberWithLong:[(NSNumber *)element longValue] * 3];} 
						  ifElementPassesTest:^BOOL(id element) {return [element longValue] %2 ==0 ;}];

or

NSMutableArray *falsePositives = [NSMutableArray array];
array = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"aa", @"ab",@"c",@"ad",@"dd", nil];

array = [array arrayByPerformingBlock:^id  (id element) {return [element stringByAppendingString:element];} 
					  ifElementPassesTest:^BOOL(id element) {return [element hasPrefix:@"a"];}
						 elsePerformBlock:^    (id element) {[falsePositives addObject:element];}
			 ]; 

and a toolset for handling shuffling

NSSet *set = [array setWithRandomElementsSize:3];
NSArray *shuffeldArray = [array arrayShuffled];

A compact Quicksort imlementation:

NSArray* quicksort(NSArray *array)
{
	if ([array count]<2) return array;
	
	id pivot = [array randomElement];
	NSMutableArray *array2= [NSMutableArray array];
	
	array = [array arrayByPerformingBlock:^id(id element)   { return element;} 
					  ifElementPassesTest:^BOOL(id element) { return [element intValue] < [pivot intValue];} 
						 elsePerformBlock:^    (id element) { if (element!=pivot) [array2 addObject:element];}
	];
	return [[[NSArray arrayWithArray:quicksort(array)] arrayByAddingObject:pivot] arrayByAddingObjectsFromArray:quicksort(array2)];
}
