# removeObjects(fromIndices:numIndices:)

Removes the specified number of objects from the array, beginning at the specified index.

## Declaration

```swift
func removeObjects(fromIndices indices: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>, numIndices cnt: Int)
```

## Parameters

- `indices`: A C array of the indices of the objects to remove from the receiving array.
- `cnt`: The number of objects to remove from the receiving array.

## Discussion

Discussion This method is similar to removeObject(at:), but it allows you to efficiently remove multiple objects with a single operation. If you sort the list of indexes in ascending order, you will improve the speed of this operation. This method cannot be sent to a remote object with distributed objects. Special Considerations This deprecated method uses a C array of indices. The removeObjects(at:) method uses an NSIndexSet which provides a more efficient way of indexing into an array.
