# init(objects:count:) Initializes a newly allocated set with a specified number of objects from a given C array of objects. ``` init(objects: UnsafePointer?, count cnt: Int) ``` ## Parameters `objects` A C array of objects to add to the new set. If the same object appears more than once in `objects`, it is added only once to the returned set. Each object receives a message as it is added to the set. `cnt` The number of objects from `objects` to add to the new set. ## Return Value An initialized set containing `cnt` objects from the list of objects specified by `objects`. The returned set might be different than the original receiver. ## Discussion This method is a designated initializer for `NSSet`. ## See Also [`- initWithObjects:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSSet/initWithObjects:) Initializes a newly allocated set with members taken from the specified list of objects. [`+ setWithObjects:count:`](/documentation/Foundation/NSSet/init(objects:count:)-65ni4) Creates and returns a set containing a specified number of objects from a given C array of objects. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
