NSNumber from array

Question

I have an array, and I am trying to get an integer in my array into a int or NSInteger. It uses NSDictionaries. The following code does not work:

int color = [[records objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey: @"color"];

Note that I am using a Core Data Fetch that saves into an array called "records".

Thanks

Be specific when you say doesn't work !!!! What doesn't work. What exception it raises. Does [[records objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey: @"color"] returns string or something else which you are assigning to int. Or is records objectAtIndex:0 isn't dictionary so valueForKey: cannot be used. — 0x8badf00d

Try this:

int color = [[[records objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey: @"color"] intValue];

Then your records object is empty

@sosborn How-I have this code NSString *prize = [[records objectAtIndex:0] valueForKey: @"prize"]; and it works fine. . .

Is that code is the same location? Or is it in a different method?
