How to convert An NSInteger to an int?

Ta da:

NSInteger myInteger = 42;
int myInt = (int) myInteger;

NSInteger is nothing more than a 32/64 bit int. (it will use the appropriate size based on what OS/platform you're running)

If you want to do this inline, just cast the NSUInteger or NSInteger to an int:

int i = -1;
NSUInteger row = 100;
i > row // true, since the signed int is implicitly converted to an unsigned int
i > (int)row // false

I'm not sure about the circumstances where you need to convert an NSInteger to an int.

NSInteger is just a typedef:

NSInteger Used to describe an integer independently of whether you are building for a 32-bit or a 64-bit system.

#if __LP64__ || TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED || TARGET_OS_IPHONE || TARGET_OS_WIN32 || NS_BUILD_32_LIKE_64 
typedef long NSInteger;
#else
typedef int NSInteger;
#endif

You can use NSInteger any place you use an int without converting it.

Commonly used in UIsegmentedControl, "error" appear when compiling in 64bits instead of 32bits, easy way for not pass it to a new variable is to use this tips, add (int):

[_monChiffre setUnite:(int)[_valUnites selectedSegmentIndex]];

instead of :

[_monChiffre setUnite:[_valUnites selectedSegmentIndex]];
