Objective-C如何自己實現一個基於數組下標的屬性訪問模式

在iOS6.0以及OS X10.8之後，Apple引入了一套非正式協議（informal protocol）與Objective-C語法直接綁定。當你實現了這其中的方法之後即可使用數組下標來訪問屬性元素。

在Foundation庫中，NSArray類實現了- (id)objectAtIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)idx方法。因此，我們可以這麼來訪問數組元素：

NSArray *arr = @[@100, @200, @300];
NSNumber *num = arr[0];

上述arr[0]就相當於[arr objectAtIndex:0]。

而NSMutableArray在基於NSArray的基礎上又實現了- (void)setObject:(id)anObject atIndexedSubscript:(NSUInteger)index方法。這樣我們可以通過數組下標來讀寫相應元素，比如：

NSMutableArray *arr = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:@[@100, @200, @300]];
arr[2] = arr[0];

而NSDictionary類實現了- (id)objectForKeyedSubscript:(id)key方法。這樣我們能以數組下標的形式來訪問相應鍵的值。比如：

NSDictionary *dict = @{@"key" : @"value"};
NSString *value = dict[@"key"];

而NSMutableDictionary在NSDictionary類的基礎上又實現了- (void)setObject:(id)object forKeyedSubscript:(id < NSCopying >)aKey方法。這樣，我們能以數組下標的方式來讀寫相應鍵的值。比如：

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:@{@"key":"@Hello"}];
dict[dict[@"key"]] = @"world";

下面我們通過實現這四個方法，自己實現一個能同時使用這四種下標方式訪問模式的類。
