I am converting an NSNumber
to an NSString
assuming in this example that the selected key in "theindex"
is 1000000
NSNumber *firstNumber = [tempDict objectForKey:@"theindex"];
NSString *convertNumber = [firstNumber stringValue];
Returning the NSString
"1000000"
I would like the string's value to be "1,000,000".
I am not concerned with localization, but understand from other questions that NSNumberFormatter
should be implemented. I am not sure how to accomplish this?
Here is an example using a standard formatting style of NSNumberFormatter:
NSNumber *firstNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:123456789];
NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterDecimalStyle];
NSString *convertNumber = [formatter stringForObjectValue:firstNumber];
NSLog(@"value : %@", convertNumber);
