How to get a number of spaces in objective-c?

Question

I want to get a number of space, how can I get that quickly? I don't want to do this by the following code.

NSString *str = @"";
// for example I want to get a string with 10 spaces
for (int i = 0; i< 10; i++) {
    str= [str stringByAppendingString:@" "];
}

I think the code is not an efficient one. who can give me another more efficient way.

You could do this:

[[string componentsSeparatedByString:@" "] count]

Also, see this question for a couple of other solutions: Number of occurrences of a substring in an NSString?
