How to convert String to an Int in swift

In swift a String can be converted into a Int in a very easy and safe way. Below example will show how we can easily convert a String to an Int value

let stringValue = "235"
if let intValue = Int(stringValue) {
     print("\(intValue)")
}

nil coalescing can also be used if we wish to return a default value in case of a invalid string

let stringValue = "235"
let intValue = Int(stringValue)  ?? 1 // default value of 1 incase of a invalid stringValue
print("\(intValue)")

Hope this helps!!!

A pat on the back !!
