Question

For example when passing a value message to an NSInteger instance like so

[a value] it causes an EXC_BAD_ACCESS.

So how to convert an NSInteger to int?

If it's relevant only small numbers < 32 are used.

Answer 1

Ta da:

NSInteger myInteger = 42; int myInt = (int) myInteger; 

NSInteger is nothing more than a 32/64 bit int. (it will use the appropriate size based on what OS/platform you're running)

Answer 2

If you want to do this inline, just cast the NSUInteger or NSInteger to an int:

int i = -1; NSUInteger row = 100; i > row // true, since the signed int is implicitly converted to an unsigned int i > (int)row // false
