Hi When I parse my data I create 5-6 mutable arrays. Each array has the same number of objects [20] and each object has 2 properties [month and sales data]. The month properties are always the same for each array with only the sales data changing. The data comes from different sources which is why I create multiple arrays.
Once I have formed the arrays is there a way to create a combined array which would have objects with properties 'month' 'sales data A', 'sales data B', 'sales data C' etc etc.
Or is there a way once I have formed the first array that I can add a property to the existing objects to form the combined array that way.
I'm new to development so I see my question being answered in one of the two ways, if not both.
Thanks

Courses Plus Student 2,669 PointsHi Stephen.... Just wanted to check... have you created a new separate class to store all the data... If I were at your place i would have created a separate class and stored all the arrays there and used them as properties...

Courses Plus Student 2,669 Pointswell, what you could do is, that may be you could apply an if statement like: if (month==month1) { print month,data1,data2, data3 etc }
I hope this helps.... You can paste the code here... so it will give more visibility ....

9,271 PointsHi Rashu, thanks for responding. I'm new to object orientated programming but I'm trying! I have created custom classes for the objects in each array [I form the arrays in viewDidLoad and manipulate them there]. Each of the custom objects has 2 properties [month and data]. I'd like to combine them so that the objects have properties of month, data1, data2, data3 etc. I don't think I can do this when I form them as I parse some HTML data and the sales data is in different areas. I hope that makes sense.
