iOS: Converting id to int

Question

I have troubles converting id of an object to int (or NSINteger), so that I can use it in a loop later.

Here is the case:

// "tasks" is a mutable array
int taskNo = [[tasks indexOfObject:@"something"] integerValue];

But it results in:

Bad receiver type 'NSUInteger' (aka 'unsigned int')

I found a similar thread with code similar to what I have above, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I guess I must be missing something simple.

Thanks a lot!

int taskNo = (int)[tasks indexOfObject:@"something"];

Your first version of the answer was wrong, but now it is correct and I can delete mine! – Martin R Aug 12 '13 at 09:14
@cell Instead of using `int` you should use `unsigned int` or `NSUInteger` – Inder Kumar Rathore Aug 12 '13 at 09:17
