Cancel Request

– cancelRequest

Advises the operation object that it should stop executing its task.

- (void)cancelRequest

Discussion

 //Obj-C
 [entryObj cancelRequest];

 //Swift
 entryObj.cancelRequest()

This method does not force your operation code to stop. Instead, it updates the object’s internal flags to reflect the change in state. If the operation has already finished executing, this method has no effect. Canceling an operation that is currently in an operation queue, but not yet executing, makes it possible to remove the operation from the queue sooner than usual.
