Objective-C: How to create a method that will return a UInt8 array from an int
- by Adam
I need to create an Objective-C method that converts an int into a byte array. In this instance, I can't use NSArray as a return type, it must be an UInt8 array. I've written a simple method to do this, but it has errors during compile and tells me that I have incompatible return types. Here is the code snippet. Any ideas?
- (UInt8[])ConvertToBytes:(int) i
{
UInt8 *retVal[4];
retVal[0] = i >> 24;
retVal[1] = i >> 16;
retVal[2] = i >> 8;
retVal[3] = i >> 0;
return retVal;
}
