The application basically calculates acceleration by inputting Initial and final velocity and time and then use a formula to calculate acceleration. However, since the values in the text boxes are string, I am unable to convert them to integers.

@IBOutlet var txtBox1 : UITextField
@IBOutlet var txtBox2 : UITextField
@IBOutlet var txtBox3 : UITextField
@IBOutlet var lblAnswer : UILabel


@IBAction func btn1(sender : AnyObject) {

    let answer1 = "The acceleration is"
    var answer2 = txtBox1
    var answer3 = txtBox2
    var answer4 = txtBox3

Updated answer for Swift 2.0+:

toInt() method gives an error, as it was removed from String in Swift 2.x. Instead, the Int type now has an initializer that accepts a String:

let a: Int? = Int(firstTextField.text)
let b: Int? = Int(secondTextField.text)
