So I get an error when converting textfiled.toInt()

I want to test something out, however when I try to perform any math in my code I get an error: Binary operator "=="" can not be applied to type string and int.

Here is my code:

@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField! @IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel! @IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {

   self.textField.text.toInt()

    if textField.text == 10 {

        println("Works.")
    }


}

}

Try this :

@IBOutlet weak var textField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!

@IBAction func buttonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {

    let text = textField.text
    let textToInt = text!.toInt()

    if textToInt == 10 {
        println("Works.")
    }
}

Let me know if that works for you.
