Finding out whether a string is numeric or not

Question

How can we check if a string is made up of numbers only. I am taking out a substring from a string and want to check if it is a numeric substring or not.

Swift 3 solution could be like:

extension String {

    var doubleValue:Double? {
        return NumberFormatter().number(from:self)?.doubleValue
    }

    var integerValue:Int? {
        return NumberFormatter().number(from:self)?.intValue
    }

    var isNumber:Bool {
        get {
            let badCharacters = NSCharacterSet.decimalDigits.inverted
            return (self.rangeOfCharacter(from: badCharacters) == nil)
        }
    }
}
