# replaceObjects(in:withObjectsFrom:range:)

Replaces the objects in the receiving array specified by one given range with the objects in another array specified by another range.

```
func replaceObjects(in range: NSRange, withObjectsFrom otherArray: [Any], range otherRange: NSRange)
```

## Parameters

`range`

The range of objects to be replaced in (or removed from) the receiving array.

`otherArray`

The array of objects from which to select replacements for the objects in `aRange`.

`otherRange`

The range of objects be selected from `otherArray` as replacements for the objects in `aRange`.

## Discussion

The lengths of `aRange` and `otherRange` don’t have to be equal: If `aRange` is longer than `otherRange`, the extra objects in the receiving array are removed; if `otherRange` is longer than `aRange`, the extra objects from `otherArray` are inserted into the receiving array.

## See Also

[`-  insertObject:atIndex:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSMutableArray/insert(_:at:)-5dbx5)
