How to split an NSMutableArray into 25 pieces

Question

I have an NSMutableArray with n entries. Is there any easy way to split this into a other NSMutableArrays each with 25 entries each. Value of n can be greater than or less than 25.

@AashishJoshi If array is less than 25 element .. No need to break. We need to break array if it has count more than 25. — sureshJangid, Nov 14 '13 at 07:36

You can use the below method to split your array

-(NSMutableArray*)splittedArrayFrom:(NSArray*)inputArray divideCount:(int)cnt
{
    NSMutableArray *mainArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
    int itemsRemaining = [inputArray count];

    for (int i =0;i*cnt<[inputArray count]; i++) {
        NSRange range = NSMakeRange(i*cnt, MIN(cnt, itemsRemaining));
        NSArray *childArray = [inputArray subarrayWithRange:range];
        [mainArray addObject:childArray];
        itemsRemaining = itemsRemaining - range.length;
    }
    return mainArray;

}
