Answer 1

If you are dealing with Objective-C objects, use Objective-C:

int a = [totalcnt intValue];

Reference: intValue

In your code example, you don't instantiate a NSString but I hope your are doing it in your real code. Otherwise, totalcnt is a wild pointer.

Answer 2

int a = [totalcnt intValue];
