Convert String to CGFloat in Swift

Question

I\'m new to Swift, how can I convert a String to CGFloat?

I tried:

var fl: CGFloat = str as CGFloat
var fl: CGFloat = (CGFloat)str
var fl: CGFloat = CGFl         


        

Answer 1

This works:

let str = "3.141592654"
let fl = CGFloat((str as NSString).floatValue)
