How to convert int to NSString?

Question

I'd like to convert an int to a NSString in Objective C.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Primitives can be converted to objects with @() expression. So the shortest way is to transform int to NSNumber and pick up string representation with stringValue method:

NSString *strValue = [@(myInt) stringValue]; 

or

NSString *strValue = @(myInt).stringValue; 

Answer 2

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", theinteger];
