Concatenate mixed types for println

Question

I am trying to concatenate a string and an integer, and log to the console using println.

println("Load number: " + webViewLoads)

webViewLoads is type 'Int'. As I'm mixing two types here, there is no surprise that I'm getting an error:
Could not find an overload for 'println' that accepts the supplied arguments.

So, I tried casting webViewLoads as a string: println("Load: " + webViewLoads as String)

Grr.. Error still thrown.

How can I make this simple little concatenation work?

use String(webViewLoads) – Mention

possible duplicate of Append String in Swift – Schleicher

Also println("Load: " + (webViewLoads as String)) should work – Mention

@Eduardo, it should not, and won't. – Digraph

@holex: you are right – Mention

Answer 1

You have a couple of options. You can create a new String from the Int and concatenate it, or you can use string interpolation.

println("Load number: " + String(webViewLoads))
println("Load number: \(webViewLoads)")

Check below code:

let string1 = "This is"
let intValue = 45
var appendString = "\(string1) \(intValue)"
println("APPEND STRING:\(appendString)")

Schleicher

He is asking how to append an Int to a String. You are showing two Strings. For the same reason, it is not a duplicate of the other question you mention in the comments. – Mention

I don't think this was mentioned, but this worked for me:

println("Frame Width: " + String(stringInterpolationSegment: frameWidth))

(frameWidth is: var frameWidth = self.frame.width)
