How to convert Latitude and longitude to float value in swift

Question

I have tried the below code : but it shows error cannot convert value of type float to expected argument type CLLocation degrees(aka Double)

    let lat = self.mallData.valueForKey("lat") as! Float
    let lon = self.mallData.valueForKey("lon")



    let mapLocation : CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(lat, lon)

Answer 1

The CLLocationCoordinate2DMake supports Double values. But you are converting lat and lon to Float.

Try converting Lat and Lon to Double.
