iphone - 在 Objective-C iPhone 中按数组中的众数排序

Question

如果我有一个 NSArray，其中包含一些值。有没有一种方法使用描述符将其按数组中最常见的数字首先排序，然后将最不常见的数字放在最后，

Array has(
"3",
"2",
"1",
"3",
"3",
"7",
)

至

Array has(
"3",
"3",
"3",
"1",
"2",

@interface NSArray (Ext)
-(NSArray*) sortByMostFrequent ;
@end



@implementation NSArray (Ext)
-(NSArray*) sortByMostFrequent {
    NSMutableDictionary* frequencyDict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
    for (id obj in self) {
        int frequency = [[frequencyDict valueForKey:obj] intValue];
        [frequencyDict setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:frequency+1] forKey:obj];
    }
    NSMutableArray* ary = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:self.count];
    for (id obj in self) {
        [ary addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                        obj, @"Object",
                        [frequencyDict valueForKey:obj], @"Frequency",
                        nil]];
    }
    NSSortDescriptor* sortDescriptor = [[NSSortDescriptor alloc] initWithKey:@"Frequency" ascending:NO];
    [ary sortUsingDescriptors:[NSArray arrayWithObject:sortDescriptor]];
    [sortDescriptor release];
    return [ary valueForKey:@"Object"];
}
@end



/// example
NSArray* ary = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"3", @"2", @"1", @"3", @"3", @"7", nil];
NSLog(@"ary %@", [ary sortByMostFrequent]);
