# init(ints:)

Creates a new column of integers by converting the elements of another
column.

```
init(ints: MLUntypedColumn)
```

## Parameters

`ints`

A column with elements that are convertible to integers.

## Return Value

A new untyped column of integers; otherwise an invalid column
if any element of the given column cannot be converted to
<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/Int>.

## Discussion

Use this initializer to create a column of integers from another column.
As an example, to create a column with this initializer, first start
with a column that is convertible to integers.

```swift
let stringColumn = MLUntypedColumn(["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"])
print(stringColumn)
/* Prints...
 ValueType: String
 Values:        [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 */
```

Then use [`init(ints:)`](/documentation/CreateML/MLUntypedColumn/init(ints:)) to convert the column to a
column of integers.

```swift
let intsColumn = MLUntypedColumn(ints: stringColumn)
print(intsColumn)
/* Prints...
 ValueType: Int
 Values:        [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 */
```
