Cannot convert the type 'int' to expected type NSTimeInterval in swift 2.0

Question

I have this method in Objective-C to return the time stamp of the location sent to the server.

-(NSDate *) toLocalTime { NSTimeZone *tz = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone]; NSInteger seconds = [tz secondsFromGMTForDate: [NSDate date]]; return [NSDate dateWithTimeInterval: seconds sinceDate: [NSDate date]]; }

This works perfectly in Obj-C I have converted it to swift 2.0

func toLocalTime() -> NSDate { var tz : NSTimeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone() var seconds: Int = tz.secondsFromGMTForDate(NSDate()) return (NSDate(timeInterval: seconds, sinceDate: NSDate())) }

but when I convert this to swift 2.0 , error(mentioned as the title above) is shown for this line as the variable seconds is of type Int and the variable that should be passed to dateWithTimeInterval should be NSTimeInterval.

Error:Cannot convert the type 'int' to expected type NSTimeInterval

Error line: return (NSDate(timeInterval: seconds, sinceDate: NSDate()))

please help !

can you not just go var seconds: NSTimeInterval = tz.secondsFromGMTForDate(NSDate()) ? — Fonix

If you check Date class .. you can found public typealias NSTimeInterval = Double means return type is Double for NSTimeInterval ..

and the method is

public convenience init(timeInterval secsToBeAdded: NSTimeInterval, sinceDate date: NSDate) // timeInterval -> return NSTimeInterval // date -> return NSDate

timeInterval takes Double not int ... so just convert it to Double like

 func toLocalTime() -> NSDate { let tz = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone() let seconds = tz.secondsFromGMTForDate(NSDate()) return (NSDate(timeInterval: Double(seconds), sinceDate: NSDate())) }

can u help me with this question as well @El Captain..? stackoverflow.com/questions/36078975/…

Here is the updated code:

func toLocalTime() -> NSDate { let tz : NSTimeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone() let seconds: Int = tz.secondsFromGMTForDate(NSDate()) return (NSDate(timeInterval: Double(seconds), sinceDate: NSDate())) }

You need to convert to Double

Cast seconds:Int into Double

func toLocalTime() -> NSDate { var tz : NSTimeZone = NSTimeZone.defaultTimeZone() var seconds: Int = tz.secondsFromGMTForDate(NSDate()) return (NSDate(timeInterval: Double(seconds), sinceDate: NSDate())) }
