How to convert from int to string in objective c: example code

If you just need an int to a string as you suggest, I've found the easiest way is to do as below:

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",numberYouAreTryingToConvert]

== shouldn't be used to compare objects in your if. For NSString use isEqualToString: to compare them.

The commented out version is the more correct way to do this.

If you use the == operator on strings, you're comparing the strings' addresses (where they're allocated in memory) rather than the values of the strings. This is very occasional useful (it indicates you have the exact same string object), but 99% of the time you want to compare the values, which you do like so:

if([myT isEqualToString:@"10"] || [myT isEqualToString:@"11"] || [myT isEqualToString:@"12"])

You can use literals, it's more compact.

NSString* myString = [@(17) stringValue];

(Boxes as a NSNumber and uses its stringValue method)
