title: NSIndexSet
category: Cocoa
tags: nshipster
excerpt: "NSIndexSet (and its mutable counterpart, NSMutableIndexSet) is a sorted collection of unique unsigned integers. Think of it like an NSRange that supports non-contiguous series. It has wicked fast operations for finding indexes in ranges or set intersections, and comes with all of the convenience methods you'd expect in a Foundation collection class."

With `NSPredicate`, [`NSSortDescriptor`](http://nshipster.com/nssortdescriptor/), and an occasional `NSFetchRequest`, even the most complex data tasks can be reduced into just a few, _extremely-understandable_ lines of code.
