NSNumber also provides implicit operator conversions that allow you to create NSNumber instances from the core .NET types (float, double, int, uint, short, ushort, byte, sbyte and bool).
c# Example
// Creates an NSNumber that contains the integer value 4.
NSNumber d = 4;
// Obtains a float from an NSNumber using explicit casts:
float asFloat = (float) d;
// Passes a float to a method taking an NSNumber implicitly:
void RunForSeconds (NSNumber seconds)
{
...
}
[...]
RunForSeconds (4);
