macOS cocoa arithmetic

[medasmx]

Below is the code for a simple program that inputs an integer in one textbox, then outputs it in another when a button is pushed. It works OK.

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>


@interface fourthtryasm : NSObject {
IBOutlet NSTextField*input;
IBOutlet NSTextField*output;
}
-(IBAction)asmbuttonNSButton*)sender;

@end

#import "fourthtryasm.h"


@implementation fourthtryasm

-(IBAction)asmbuttonNSButton*)sender;
{
NSInteger integer=[input intValue];
[output setIntValue:integer];
}

@end

What I really wanted to do was to have 5 added to the inputted number when it was put in the second text box. I tried various things. The first attempt was the following --

[output setIntValue:[integer+5]];

The second was something like this--

[output setIntValue:[[integer+5] intValue]]

None of these worked, of course. Can someone tell me how to get this to work, and then let me know what ?class methods I should use to do arithmetic. Thanks.

NSInteger is not a Class. It is just typedef'd to an integer thing. So treat things declared NSInteger like primitives:

[output setIntValue:(integer + 5)];

Also, please don't name variables things like integer. In some languages an integer is defined using the keyword integer. If you want something that is generic, just call it myInt or myInteger.

For correctness' sake, with NSInteger, don't use setIntValue:, use setIntegerValue:, or else in 64-bit, your numbers might be unexpectedly truncated.

Good times, didn't check the API reference.
