The returned set might be different than the original receiver. ## Discussion This method is a designated initializer of `NSOrderedSet`. ## See Also [`+ orderedSetWithObjects:count:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSOrderedSet/init(objects:count:)-3ny0m) Creates and returns a set containing a specified number of objects from a given C array of objects. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
