User · Answer

It is not casting  it is creating a string from a value with a format  let a  Double   1 5 let b  String   String format   quot  f quot   a   print  quot b    b  quot      b  1 500000  With a different format  let c  String   String format   quot   1f quot   a   print  quot c    c  quot      c  1 5  You can also omit the format property if no formatting is needed

There are many answers here that suggest a variety of techniques  But when presenting numbers in the UI  you invariably want to use a NumberFormatter so that the results are properly formatted  rounded  and localized   let value   10000 5  let formatter   NumberFormatter   formatter numberStyle    decimal  guard let string   formatter string for  value  else   return   print string     10 000 5   If you want fixed number of decimal places  e g  for currency values  let value   10000 5  let formatter   NumberFormatter   formatter numberStyle    decimal formatter maximumFractionDigits   2 formatter minimumFractionDigits   2  guard let string   formatter string for  value  else   return   print string     10 000 50   But the beauty of this approach  is that it will be properly localized  resulting in 10 000 50 in the US but 10 000 50 in Germany  Different locales have different preferred formats for numbers  and we should let NumberFormatter use the format preferred by the end user when presenting numeric values within the UI   Needless to say  while NumberFormatter is essential when preparing string representations within the UI  it should not be used if writing numeric values as strings for persistent storage  interface with web services  etc
