Convert NSString to NSInteger?

Question

I want to convert string data to NSInteger.

Answer 1

If the string is a human readable representation of a number, you can do this:

NSInteger myInt = [myString intValue];

Answer 2

[myString intValue] returns a cType "int"

[myString integerValue] returns a NSInteger.

In most cases I do find these simple functions by looking at apples class references, quickest way to get there is click [option] button and double-click on the class declarations (in this case NSString ).
