How do you store "int"
values in an NSMutableArray
or NSMutableDictionary
? Chronic problems with JSON data that come in as integers.
Should I try to store these integers as NSNumber
objects or just as strings that contain the integer?
How dangerous is it to do a "raw" (int) conversion on the pointers if I know the values will always be Natural Numbers (numbers>=0 including zero for null.)
The integers I'm always working with are Foreign Key Id's from a database.
Use NSNumber like this:
int yourInt = 5;
[myMutableArray addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:yourInt]];
Or using modern Objective C syntax, you can use the following for expressions:
[myMutableArray addObject:@(2 + 3)];
Or for lone numbers:
[myMutableArray addObject:@5];
