[Swarm-Support] What is the best way to model "lists" of integers in Obj-C?

[Luke Premo]

Hello,
I would like to use "lists" of (negative and positive) integers in my  
Obj-C model (Mac OSX, Swarm 2.2) to represent simple genomes.  So far,  
I've used the List object to do this, but i get some strange results  
(i.e., getCount returns 10 but when I print out the contents of the  
"haplotype" I don't always get 10 integers...sometimes i get none) not  
to mention the following compiler warning: Hominin.m:38: warning:  
passing argument 1 of 'addLast:' makes pointer from integer without a  
cast.  I get the feeling List is only reliable for objects and not  
integers, is this true?  And if so, what would be a better choice for  
me given that i want to be able to add/remove integers with offsets  
and use the addLast/First and removeLast/First commands when modeling  
recombination between two "lists" of integers?  Should I switch to  
Arrays, Collections, or Strings to do this?

If my hunch is wrong, and Lists can deal with integers just fine, then  
how come I can't get all 10 of the integers to print out for me using  
a while loop on an index of the haplotype List and the printf  
function?  I'm stumped.

I'm sure this is a simple problem, but I've been unsuccessful in  
finding a definitive answer after searching for the last couple of  
hours.  I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.  Thank you very  
much for you time,

Luke Premo
