Question: New to Cocoa, and seem to be missing something. 

What is the most elegant/idiomatic way to obtain the first x elements of an `NSArray` as another `NSArray`? Obviously I can iterate through them and store them manually, but it seems like there has to be a more standard method of doing this. 

I was expecting there to be an `-arrayWithObjectsInRange:` or something similar, but don't see anything...

```
NSArray* largeArray...// Contains 50 items...

NSArray* smallArray = // fill in the blank     

// smallArray contains first 10 items from largeArray

```

Thanks!

Answer: 
```
firstNItems = [items subarrayWithRange:NSMakeRange(0, MIN(n, items.count))];

```
2nd parameter is number of array items to include in the range, not the 'to' index
