SwiftUI if number is above 30 - swiftui

Question

So I am trying to show a different UI if a number is above 34
However somehow the code is triggering above 3. Not quite sure why it triggering at > 3 instead of > 34
if self.speed > "\(String(34))" {
VStack(alignment: .center){
Text("YOUR SPEED IS")
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
.lineSpacing(30)
.padding(20)
.font(.system(size: 30, weight: .heavy, design: .default))
.foregroundColor(Color.gray)
Text(String(self.speed))
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
.lineSpacing(30)
.padding(20)
.font(.system(size: 50, weight: .heavy, design: .default))
.foregroundColor(Color.red)
Text("Our system detected you driving or moving too fast")
.multilineTextAlignment(.center)
.font(.system(size: 12, weight: .light, design: .default))
.foregroundColor(Color.gray)
}.frame(minWidth: 0,
maxWidth: .infinity,
minHeight: 0,
maxHeight: .infinity,
alignment: .topLeading
).background(Color.black)
}
I am wondering if I am doing the if statement correctly?
I am getting the speed from the users location (note I need the speed in KM)
static let Speed = 0
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
lastKnownLocation = locations.last
if(lastKnownLocation!.coordinate.latitude != LocationManager.LMlat && lastKnownLocation!.coordinate.longitude != LocationManager.LMlong)
{
//This fetches the users speed and coverts it to KM
let km = String(format: "%.0f",lastKnownLocation!.speed * 3.6)
LocationManager.Speed = Int(km) ?? 0
//We then check to see if the users speed is above 2.5km and if so we update.
if(km > String(2.5)){
print("Updating latest location")
print("speed: \(km)")
LocationManager.LMlat = lastKnownLocation!.coordinate.latitude
LocationManager.LMlong = lastKnownLocation!.coordinate.longitude
updateServerLocation(latitude: LocationManager.LMlat, longitude: LocationManager.LMlong, speed: km)
}
}
}
Note it won't let me save it as an Int

Answer 1

if Int(self.speed)! > 34 {
or
if Int(self.speed) ?? 0 > 34 {
Instead of turning 34 into a String, turn self.speed into an Int or Double.
Honestly though, self.speed should probably be an Int to begin with.
