How do you convert int to double in swift?

Question

I've looked at the answers for converting int's to floats and other similar answers but they don't do exactly what I want.

I'm trying to create a basic program that takes a number does some different calculations onto it and the results of those calculations are added together at the end.

For one of those calculations I created a segmented controller with the 3 different values below

 var myValues: [Double] = [0.00, 1.00, 1.50]
 var myValue = [myValuesSegmentedController.selectedSegmentIndex]

then when one of those values is picked, it's added to the final value. All the values added together are Doubles to 2 decimal places.

var totalAmount = valueA + valueB + valueC + myValue

the problem I'm having is that swift won't let me add "myValue" to those final calculations. It gives me the error:

Swift Compiler Error. Cannot invoke '+' with an argument list of type '($T7, @lvalue [int])'

What do I need to do to change that value to a Double? Or what can I do to get a similar result?

Answer 1

You can cast it with Double() like this

var totalAmount = valueA + valueB + valueC + Double(myValue)

Answer 2

The problem is you are trying to add an array instead of an Int, so You don't even need to convert anything, considering that all of your values are already Doubles and your index actually has to be an Int. So

 let myValues = [0.00, 1.00, 1.50]
 let myValue = [myValuesSegmentedController.selectedSegmentIndex] // your mistake is  here, you are creating one array of integers with only one element(your index)

The correct would be something like these:

let myValues = [0.00, 1.00, 1.50]
let totalAmount = myValues.reduce(0, combine: +) + myValues[myValuesSegmentedController.selectedSegmentIndex]
