Correct method to save an Int into core data?

Question

I have an entity with an Int16 attribute.

I want to save var userRepsCount = Int() which is set by the below stepper method:

@IBAction func userRepsStepper(_ sender: UIStepper) {
    userExerciseRepsCounter.text = Int(sender.value).description
    self.userRepsCount = Int(sender.value)
}

I want to add this to the attribute and am using userExercise.reps = userRepsCount to do so, however I get the error

Cannot assign value of type 'Int' to type 'Int16'

I was under the impression that Int16 could store int's such as this without issue? What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Try wrapping it with Int64(userRepsCount), and then when you pull it, wrap it with Int(value) before you process it
