NSMutableDictionary setObject example in Objective C (iOS).

NSMutableDictionary setObject

Adds a given key-value pair to the dictionary.

- (void)setObject:(id)anObject forKey:(id < NSCopying >)aKey

Parameters of [NSMutableDictionary setObject]
anObject
The value for aKey. A strong reference to the object is maintained by the dictionary. Raises an NSInvalidArgumentException if anObject is nil. If you need to represent a nil value in the dictionary, use NSNull.
aKey
The key for value. The key is copied (using copyWithZone:; keys must conform to the NSCopying protocol). Raises an NSInvalidArgumentException if aKey is nil. If aKey already exists in the dictionary anObject takes its place.
