Inserting an integerValue into a dictionary

Question

I want to get some value from a textfield and convert into a integer.

NSMutableDictionary* dic = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
[dic setValue:txtTable.text forKey:@"Table"];

I tried to use this but it doesn't work:

[dic setValue:[txtTable.text integerValue] forKey:@"Table"];

Thanks for help...

Answer 1

NSInteger intVal = [txtTable.text integerValue];
dict[@"Table"] = @(intVal);

Answer 2

You need to wrap the integer value in an NSNumber value.

NSInteger val = [txtTable.text integerValue];
NSNumber *num = [NSNumber numberWithInteger:val];
[dic setObject:num forKey:@"Table"];
