No, and yes, and no, and yes. There is currently AFAIK no such native formatting syntax in Swift print statements, so “no”. But you can of course use ‘String (format: “%08lx”, someCast (someValue))’. This isn’t actually cheating, because Swift has its own implementation of the entire NSString API. There’s no bridging to NSString objects involved in these functions, so “yes”. But you can’t *use* this API in Swift unless you import Foundation. Without the import, Swift will pretend it doesn’t have those String APIs, though it really does, so “no”. But starting with Swift 3, later this year, Foundation will migrate natively into Swift — for all supported Swift platforms, such as Linux — so I assume there will be some kind of native String formatting syntax, so “yes”, though whether it will use the same format strings as Cocoa, I don’t know. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
