How to convert an Int to a String

Swift version: 5.1

Swift's string interpolation means you can convert all sorts of data – including integers – to a string in just one line of code:

let str1 = "\(myInt)"

However, the more common way is just to use the string initializer, like this:

let str2 = String(myInt)
