If-Statement for String/Int

Question

Hi,

my if clause always runs into the else statement? Whats the fault?

        NSLog([[category objectForKey:@"id"] stringValue]); // Traces 15
        if ([[category objectForKey:@"id"] stringValue] == "15") {
            result.isExternal = YES;
        } else {
            result.isExternal = NO;
        }

thanks for helping

Answer 1

You should use isEqualToString http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1302985/how-do-i-compare-strings-in-objective-c

Answer 2

You should change

[[category objectForKey:@"id"] stringValue]

to

[[[category objectForKey:@"id"] stringValue] isEqualToString:@"15"]

And as for comparing that stringValue how you are, you need to do == @"15" as "15" isn't a string unless an @ is infront.

Answer 3

Your "if" statement is comparing two C strings with "==". You should use strcmp for that. If your function returns an objective C string, you should use @"15", and the correct comparison function.

It Works! Thank you!
