How to convert an int to a float

Written by Paul Hudson    @twostraws

Swift's Float data type has a built-in constructor that can convert from integers with no extra work from you. For example, to convert the integer 556 into its Float equivalent, you'd use this:

let myInt = 556
let myFloat = Float(myInt)

Available from iOS 7.0
