The basic idea is to iterate through a directory full of .plists which have NSDictionary objects that contain a monetary value.
How can I iterate through all of the directory contents and extract all the "Current Value
" objects and add them together to get a total amount?
NSArray * itemList = [MANAGER contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",INVENTORY_PATH] error:nil];
for ( NSString * item in itemList )
{
NSDictionary * currentItem = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",INVENTORY_PATH, item]];
float monetaries = [[currentItem objectForKey:@"Current Value"] floatValue];
NSLog(@"Current Value: %.2f",monetaries);
}
2012-05-06 22:11:33.583 WrightsCS[3151:15803] Current Value: 350.99
2012-05-06 22:11:33.584 WrightsCS[3151:15803] Current Value: 321.54
2012-05-06 22:11:33.584 WrightsCS[3151:15803] Total Value: 672.53
float total = 0.0f ;
float monetaries = 0.0f;
NSArray * itemList = [MANAGER contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",INVENTORY_PATH] error:nil];
for ( NSString * item in itemList )
{
NSDictionary * currentItem = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",INVENTORY_PATH, item]];
monetaries = [[currentItem objectForKey:@"Current Value"] floatValue];
total += monetaries ;
NSLog(@"Current Value: %.2f",monetaries);
}
NSLog(@"Total Value: %.2f",total);
2012-05-06 22:26:05.460 WrightsCS[3205:15803] Current Value: 350.99
2012-05-06 22:26:05.462 WrightsCS[3205:15803] Current Value: 321.54
2012-05-06 22:26:05.462 WrightsCS[3205:15803] Total Value: 672.53
Couldn't you just keep a running total or did I miss it?
NSArray * itemList = [MANAGER contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",INVENTORY_PATH] error:nil];
float total = 0.0f ;
for ( NSString * item in itemList )
{
NSDictionary * currentItem = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@",INVENTORY_PATH, item]];
float monetaries = [[currentItem objectForKey:@"Current Value"] floatValue];
total += monetaries ;
// NSLog(@"Current Value: %.2f",monetaries);
}
NSLog(@"Total Value: %.2f",monetaries);
