nsstring - Concatenate number with string in Swift

Question

I need to concatenate a String and Int as below:

let myVariable: Int = 8
return "first " + myVariable

But it does not compile, with the error:

Binary operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type 'String' and 'Int'

What is the proper way to concatenate a String + Int?

Answer 1

If you want to put a number inside a string, you can just use String Interpolation:

return "first (myVariable)"
