Cocoa touch code to set NSInteger to number in a text field

Question

I need to set an NSInteger to the number in a text field. And I've googled it and could not find any answer. Does anybody know how to do this

Answer 1

NSInteger x = [textField.text integerValue];

Answer 2

John C. Daub answer is perfect. I would add this also:

NSInteger x = [[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[field.text integerValue]] integerValue];

The advantage of NSNumber is that if you want to pass this integer into dicitonary, NSNumber helps.

On the other hand a call to integerValue would be sufficient.
