Using text input value as a float

I'm trying to use the text value from a text field as a float (to update a slider), but it's apparently not as straight-forward as I thought. 

self.speedSlider.value = self.numberOfSecs.text

That errors because an NSString is expected. I also can't cast the text into a float, it seems.

Any help is appreciated.

Try this code below:

self.speedSlider.value = [self.numberOfSecs.text floatValue];

You must Convert String to Float...!

You can extract value using floatValue method (if your string represents a valid number):

self.speedSlider.value = [self.numberOfSecs.text floatValue];
