如果你想做的只是反向迭代，试试这个:

// iterate backwards
nextIndex = (currentIndex == 0) ? [myArray count] - 1 : (currentIndex - 1) % [myArray count];

你可以做一次[myArrayCount]，并将其保存到一个局部变量(我认为这很昂贵)，但我也猜测编译器将对上面写的代码做同样的事情。

要更新这个，在Swift中它可以很容易地完成:

array.reverse()

有一个更简单的解决方案，如果你利用NSArray内置的reverseObjectEnumerator方法，以及NSEnumerator的allObjects方法:

NSArray* reversedArray = [[startArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];

allObjects被记录为返回一个数组，其中的对象还没有被nextObject遍历，顺序如下:

该数组按枚举顺序包含枚举器的所有剩余对象。

一些基准

1. reverseObjectEnumerator allObjects

这是最快的方法:

NSArray *anArray = @[@"aa", @"ab", @"ac", @"ad", @"ae", @"af", @"ag",
        @"ah", @"ai", @"aj", @"ak", @"al", @"am", @"an", @"ao", @"ap", @"aq", @"ar", @"as", @"at",
        @"au", @"av", @"aw", @"ax", @"ay", @"az", @"ba", @"bb", @"bc", @"bd", @"bf", @"bg", @"bh",
        @"bi", @"bj", @"bk", @"bl", @"bm", @"bn", @"bo", @"bp", @"bq", @"br", @"bs", @"bt", @"bu",
        @"bv", @"bw", @"bx", @"by", @"bz", @"ca", @"cb", @"cc", @"cd", @"ce", @"cf", @"cg", @"ch",
        @"ci", @"cj", @"ck", @"cl", @"cm", @"cn", @"co", @"cp", @"cq", @"cr", @"cs", @"ct", @"cu",
        @"cv", @"cw", @"cx", @"cy", @"cz"];

NSDate *methodStart = [NSDate date];

NSArray *reversed = [[anArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects];

NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate:methodStart];
NSLog(@"executionTime = %f", executionTime);

结果:executionTime = 0.000026

2. 迭代一个reverseObjectEnumerator对象

这要慢1.5到2.5倍:

NSDate *methodStart = [NSDate date];
NSMutableArray *array = [NSMutableArray arrayWithCapacity:[anArray count]];
NSEnumerator *enumerator = [anArray reverseObjectEnumerator];
for (id element in enumerator) {
    [array addObject:element];
}
NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate:methodStart];
NSLog(@"executionTime = %f", executionTime);

结果:executionTime = 0.000071

3.sortedArrayUsingComparator

这要慢30到40倍(这里没有意外):

NSDate *methodStart = [NSDate date];
NSArray *reversed = [anArray sortedArrayUsingComparator: ^(id obj1, id obj2) {
    return [anArray indexOfObject:obj1] < [anArray indexOfObject:obj2] ? NSOrderedDescending : NSOrderedAscending;
}];

NSDate *methodFinish = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval executionTime = [methodFinish timeIntervalSinceDate:methodStart];
NSLog(@"executionTime = %f", executionTime);

结果:executionTime = 0.001100

因此，当谈到速度和易用性时，[[anArray reverseObjectEnumerator] allObjects显然是赢家。

或者scala方式:

-(NSArray *)reverse
{
    if ( self.count < 2 )
        return self;
    else
        return [[self.tail reverse] concat:[NSArray arrayWithObject:self.head]];
}

-(id)head
{
    return self.firstObject;
}

-(NSArray *)tail
{
    if ( self.count > 1 )
        return [self subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(1, self.count - 1)];
    else
        return @[];
}

有一个简单的方法。

    NSArray *myArray = @[@"5",@"4",@"3",@"2",@"1"];
    NSMutableArray *myNewArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; //this object is going to be your new array with inverse order.
    for(int i=0; i<[myNewArray count]; i++){
        [myNewArray insertObject:[myNewArray objectAtIndex:i] atIndex:0];
    }
    //other way to do it
    for(NSString *eachValue in myArray){
        [myNewArray insertObject:eachValue atIndex:0];
    }

    //in both cases your new array will look like this
    NSLog(@"myNewArray: %@", myNewArray);
    //[@"1",@"2",@"3",@"4",@"5"]

我希望这能有所帮助。
