# removeObjects(fromIndices:numIndices:) Removes the specified number of objects from the array, beginning at the specified index. ``` func removeObjects(fromIndices indices: UnsafeMutablePointer, numIndices cnt: Int) ``` ## Parameters `indices` A C array of the indices of the objects to remove from the receiving array. `cnt` The number of objects to remove from the receiving array. ## Discussion This method is similar to [`removeObject(at:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSMutableArray/removeObject(at:)), but it allows you to efficiently remove multiple objects with a single operation. If you sort the list of indexes in ascending order, you will improve the speed of this operation. This method cannot be sent to a remote object with distributed objects. ### Special Considerations This deprecated method uses a C array of indices. The [`removeObjects(at:)`](/documentation/Foundation/NSMutableArray/removeObjects(at:)) method uses an [`NSIndexSet`](/documentation/Foundation/NSIndexSet) which provides a more efficient way of indexing into an array. ## See Also [`- initWithCapacity:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSMutableArray/init(capacity:)) Returns an array, initialized with enough memory to initially hold a given number of objects. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
