Convert Int to Double in Swift

label.text = String(format:"%.1f hour", theOrder.bookingMins/60.0)

The above code returns this error:

'Int' is not convertible to 'Double'

bookingMins is of type Int, so how do I convert an Int to a Double in Swift? Seems not as simple as in C.

What I prefer to do is to use computed properties. So I like to create an extension of Double and than add a property like below:

extension Int {
  var doubleValue: Double {
    return Double(self)
  }
}

And than you can use it in very Swifty way, I believe in future updates of swift language will be something similar.

let bookingMinutes = theOrder.bookingMins.doubleValue

in your case

label.text = String(format: "%.1f hour", bookingMinutes / 60.0)
