It’s a for loop. Example:

for (int currentLocation = 0; currentLocation < [stringToParse length]; currentLocation++) {
    NSString *currentCharacter = [stringToParse substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(currentLocation, 1)];
    [arrayOfChars addObject:currentCharacter];
}

or this, in the same line as your example:

for (NSNumber *currNumber in secondsArray) {
    // do something
}

But then you need to know the object’s class for this loop to work, like in this example it is NSNumber. secondsArray is an NSArray of NSNumber objects.

And if the for … in … form is suitable, it’s also quite a bit quicker.
