Not sure if I understand your question...but,

You simply declare it.

NSInteger can hold an int value or a long value.

If the name of your variable is myInteger...then declare it like this.

NSInteger myInteger;

That will receive an "int" value.

Are you trying to convert one to the other and finding that it's not working, or just asking a theoretical question?

NSInteger is typedef'd as a long int, so you don't need to "convert" as with NSNumber (which is a complex type). For more discussion on NSInteger vs. NSNumber check out: NSNumber versus NSInteger

All of this should be cool:

int myInt = 32;

NSInteger myNSInt = myInt;

int anotherInt = myNSInt + 5;

myNSInt = anotherInt;

NSNumber *myNSNumber = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:myNSInt]; //because it's an objective-c class and must be alloc'd/released

Well, I think this code will help you.
NSInteger myInteger = 42;
int myInt = myInteger;

NSInteger is nothing more than a 32/64 bit int. And also it will use the appropriate size based on what OS/platform you're running.

You don't need to convert an int into an NSInteger, 'cause int is the primitive version of NSInteger. So int and NSInteger are almost the same thing. So the iOS converts it for you if it's really needed.
