You have to draw a line between C types (int, double, floats, long,
char, etc) and objects (in cocoa, things that are prefixed with
NSObject or object that are subclasses of NSObject)
Objects can receive messages (things between [ ]) and c types cannot.
If you want to work with ints as objects, you'd have to use NSNumber.
Example:
NSString *intAsString;
NSNumber *number = [NSNumber numberWithInt:100];
intAsString = [number stringValue];
If you don't want to deal with NSNumber, which is perfectly normal,
then do something like
int number = 100;
intAsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", number];
I'd recommend you to go buy a cocoa book.

ok... well
NSString *someString;
int someinteger = 100;
someString =[someinteger stringValue];
does not yield a string which is the number help in someinteger.
Why can't I get a string from a number?
I could just put it in the textfield, then pull it back but that seems
like a huge waste of cycles.
