Generics aren’t templates, which is what you’d need for this to work. However, what are you really trying to do? Your last example can just as well be written: let intFromStrB = Double (“9”) What you really need to do depends on what you’re really trying to achieve. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
