NSDictionary inside NSMutableArray (iOS) [closed]

Question

I need the following as a result:

(

    "some_key" = {
        "another_key" = "another_value";
    };

);

In order to do so, I have this code, but it doesn't work:

NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"another_value", @"another_key", nil];
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array setValue:dictionary forKey:@"some_key"];

Any Idea? Thanks!

Your error is here:

NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[array setValue:dictionary forKey:@"some_key"];

------------^^^^^

You are setting this into array.

Try this one:

NSDictionary *dictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"another_value", @"another_key", nil];
NSDictionary *outDict=[[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:dictionary,@"some_key", nil];
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:outDict, nil];

In new literals:

NSDictionary *d=@{@"another_key":@"another_value"};
NSDictionary *c=@{@"some_key":d};
NSArray *array=@[c];

Or nested creation :

NSArray *array=@[@{@"some_key":@{@"another_key":@"another_value"}}];
