Removes a given key and its associated value from the dictionary.

Declaration

func removeObject(forKey aKey: Any)

Parameters

Discussion

Does nothing if aKey does not exist.

For example, assume you have an archived dictionary that records the call letters and associated frequencies of radio stations. To remove an entry for a defunct station, you could write code similar to the following:

NSMutableDictionary *stations = nil;
 
stations = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]
        initWithContentsOfFile: pathToArchive];
[stations removeObjectForKey:@"KIKT"];
