Convert unsigned char * to int * in Objective-C

Question

I am trying to convert a unsigned char* to int * on in Objective-C on the iPhone. Is there any API that can help with the conversion?

Here's my best attempt:

-(BOOL)MyFunc:Version:(int *)nVer
{
   unsigned char * uszVerSize;
   //trying to assign string to int
   nVer =  uszVerSize[0] ;
}

Answer 1

Dear Lord, I think you have bigger problems than the one stated above.

You need to convert the chars to an int and return that.

return [[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedChar:uszVerSize] intValue];

You should also learn about pointers and how ints and chars differ in memory. You can't just assign a pointer to a char to a pointer to an int.

Answer 2

const char *asciiCString = [@"abc-zABC-Z" cString];
  int cStringLen = [@"abc-zABC-Z" length];
  for(i=0;i<cStringLen;i++) {
    [asciiMArray addObject: [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInteger: asciiCString[i]]];
    printf("%d\n",asciiCString[i]);
  }

  for(i=0;i<cStringLen;i++) {
    NSLog(@"%@",[asciiMArray objectAtIndex: i]);
    printf("%d\n",asciiCString[i]);
  }

This is a code i wrote yesterday, to test some code of my learning face

It may look naive...but if it helps you....

asciiCString[i] returns you ASCII value of the char referenced at the index.. asciiMArray is a NSMutableArray Object
