643 PointsDifference between Int and UInt32?
Can someone please explain this to me in detail? Also how can I convert it over to an Int if I have UInt32 value? (Please explain how I can do the opposite as well)...
Example code: var randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(12) var Number = 21 Number * randomNumber
Please help me! :)

In regard to the differences there are plenty of resources on Stack Overflow for example with the answer you're looking for.
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11786113/difference-between-different-integer-types
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2307271/what-is-the-difference-between-int32-and-uint32
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14911813/what-is-the-difference-between-an-uint32-and-an-unsigned-int-in-c
As for your second question, Swift has the capability of converting UInt32 type values by simply passing the value with an new Int instance, see the below.
var randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(12)
var Number = 21
println(Number * Int(randomNumber))
Hope that helps.
