NSString is integer?

by

You could use the -intValue or -integerValue methods. Returns zero if the string doesn’t start with an integer, which is a bit of a shame as zero is a valid value for an integer.

A better option might be to use [NSScanner scanInt:] which returns a BOOL indicating whether or not it found a suitable value.
