It represents the results of the query in the form of a collection of objects. `RLMResults` can be queried using the same predicates as `RLMObject` and `RLMArray`, and you can chain queries to further filter results. `RLMResults` always reflect the current state of the Realm on the current thread, including during write transactions on the current thread. The one exception to this is when using `for...in` fast enumeration, which will always enumerate over the objects which matched the query when the enumeration is begun, even if some of them are deleted or modified to be excluded by the filter during the enumeration. `RLMResults` are lazily evaluated the first time they are accessed; they only run queries when the result of the query is requested. This means that chaining several temporary `RLMResults` to sort and filter your data does not perform any extra work processing the intermediate state. Once the results have been evaluated or a notification block has been added, the results are eagerly kept up-to-date, with the work done to keep them up-to-date done on a background thread whenever possible. `RLMResults` cannot be directly instantiated. */ @interface RLMResults : NSObject #pragma mark - Properties /** The number of objects in the results collection. */ @property (nonatomic, readonly, assign) NSUInteger count; /** The type of the objects in the results collection. */ @property (nonatomic, readonly, assign) RLMPropertyType type; /** Indicates whether the objects in the collection can be `nil`. */ @property (nonatomic, readwrite, getter = isOptional) BOOL optional; /** The class name of the objects contained in the results collection.
