Answer 1

The method you want is toInt() -- you have to be a little careful, since the toInt() returns an optional Int.

let stringNumber = "1234"
let numberFromString = stringNumber.toInt()
// numberFromString is of type Int? with value 1234

let notANumber = "Uh oh"
let wontBeANumber = notANumber.toInt()
// wontBeANumber is of type Int? with value nil
