Problem combining NSMutableSets

Question

I have the following code:

   NSMutableSet* localSet = [[NSMutableSet alloc] initWithArray:symbols];
NSMutableArray* fetchedSymbolsArray = [NSMutableArray array];

for (NSDictionary* symbol in fetchedSymbols) {
    [fetchedSymbolsArray addObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[symbol valueForKey:@"symbol"] forKey:@"symbol"]];
}

NSMutableSet* serverSet = [[NSMutableSet alloc] initWithArray:fetchedSymbolsArray];

[localSet unionSet:serverSet];

for (NSDictionary* symbol in localSet) {
    NSLog(@"%@",[symbol valueForKey:@"symbol"]);
}

I want everything in serverSet to be in localSet. This code does not reflect this.

It would also be preferable if any duplicates were not added to localSet.

EDIT: Here is my log:

Answer 1

try [localSet unionSet:serverSet]

EDIT

Here's code that just uses symbols instead of NSDictionarys:

NSArray *symbols = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"AAPL",@"GOOG",@"INTC",@"YHOO",nil];

NSArray *fetchedSymbols = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"AMD",@"BIDU",@"GOOG",@"GMCR",@"INTC",@"YHOO",nil];


NSMutableSet* localSet = [[NSMutableSet alloc] initWithArray:symbols];
NSMutableSet* serverSet = [[NSMutableSet alloc] initWithArray:fetchedSymbols];

[localSet unionSet:serverSet];

for (id symbol in localSet) {
    NSLog(@"%@",symbol);
}
