To save yourself time and hassle in the future you can make an Int extension   Typically I create a shared code file where I put extensions  enums  and other fun stuff   Here is what the extension code looks like   extension Int       func toString   - gt  String               var myString   String self          return myString           Then later when you want to convert an int to a string you can just do something like   var myNumber   0 var myNumberAsString   myNumber toString

I prefer using String Interpolation  let x   45 let string      x     Each object has some string representation  This makes things simpler  For example if you need to create some String with multiple values  You can also do any math in it or use some conditions  let text      count    count  gt  1    items     item   in the cart  Sum     sum   shippingPrice
