Setting UILabel text to bold [duplicate]

Question

How do you set the text for a UILabel to bold in Swift programmatically? My code so far:

    var label = UILabel(frame:theFrame)     label.text = "Foo" 

Answer 1

Use font property of UILabel:

label.font = UIFont(name:"HelveticaNeue-Bold", size: 16.0) 

or use default system font to bold text:

label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
