Cannot convert value of type 'Int64?' to expected argument type 'Int'

Question

When I try to pass job?.id (an Int64) as Int parameter ( while I know it's not that big ), swift compiler prompts with this error, I tried a couple of ways to cast it, but had no success :

Cannot convert value of type 'Int64?' to expected argument type 'Int'

My code :

Job.updateJobStatus(token: tok, jobId: job?.id, status:JobSatus.canceled) { (result, error) in
        if result != nil
        {

        }
        else if error != nil
        {

        }
    }

Answer 1

You can easily go like:

let int64Value: Int64 = 123456
let intValue = NSNumber(value: int64Value).intValue

Swift 3 introduces failable initializers to safely convert one integer type to another. By using init?(exactly:) you can pass one type to initialize another, and it returns nil if the initialization fails. The value returned is an optional which must be unwrapped in the usual ways.

Int(exactly: yourInt64)
