Convert Date String to Int Swift

Question

I am trying to convert the string:

let time = \"7:30\"

to integers:

let hour : Int = 7
let minutes : Int = 30

Answer 1

Use String.componentsSeparatedByString to split time string to parts:

import Foundation

let time = "7:30"
let timeParts = time.componentsSeparatedByString(":")

if timeParts.count == 2 {
    if let hour = Int(timeParts[0]),
        let minute = Int(timeParts[1]) {
            // use hour and minute
    }
}

If you do not want to import Foundation you can split time string to parts with:

let timeParts = time.characters.split(":").map(String.init)
