Re: How to Convert Strings into Double and Float Values Using Swift 2

You need to convert the type to double in your second line.

var numTotal = Double(numItems) * 3.98

Swift requires you be specific and explicitly convert between types.

It’s better to convert with NSNumberFormatter as I discussed on your first line. “ABC” input will break things.

Thanks! This is perfect I'm looking to switch from Squarespace to Jekyll and I have a ton of 301 redirects I need to bring over.

Are you having any issues with Hario tabbed filters? They are draining very inconsistently for me.

I love the new testing features ... I'm a big believer in more testing, and I'm trying to get better with TDD. New videos and blog on that soon. =)

I agree, what's your favorite new feature in Xcode 10?

It definitely helps to have new support in Swift 4.2, and you'll need Xcode 10+ or later to use this new code.

A welcome change! Thanks for sharing Leo!

True story. I tell everyone to avoid that button unless they use it with the Undo/Redo to investigate what constraints might be missing.

Any complex layouts for a single screen slow down my changes to an uncomfortable speed.

That's not even adding multiple screens. But #7 is a good recommendation if I had more than 1 screen causing the sluggishness.

Great tips! Keep in mind that while it's good to preview multiple sizes, it will slow down UI design in a complex storyboard if you have all the sizes visible.

I turn off all but one size to make text a UI design for the first time. That way I don't have to wait as I add constraints. Otherwise . . . it . . . feels . . . slow . . . even on a MacBook Pro 2016.

Love it, thanks Brad for an intro to CSS =) It's a bit different from apps, but this presentation was very cool to follow along.

Thanks Nair!

The change in Swift 4 is with the NSNumberFormatter which is now NumberFormatter. The API for converting a number has changed to:

var pi = NumberFormatter().number(from: "3.14")?.doubleValue

Thanks for the reply Scott! Now that I see how you're doing it, I'll give it a try with my technique.

Every time I think I figure it out, you give me another idea or technique to try. We'll see how the results go.

I really do appreciate your insight. The information you share on this blog is invaluable.

What do you recommend for non-professional baristas (aka. the home user) when using a Baratza Virtuoso grinder?

Should I get a sifter?

Do I need a better grinder?

The code has changed, println is now print. https://developer.apple.com...

print statements only go to the console window in Xcode, not the app screen.
