# init(ints:)

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

## Declaration

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

## Parameters

- `ints`: A column with elements that are convertible to integers.

## Return Value

Return Value A new untyped column of integers; otherwise an invalid column if any element of the given column cannot be converted to Int.

## Discussion

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. let stringColumn = MLUntypedColumn(["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]) print(stringColumn) /* Prints...  ValueType: String  Values:        [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  */ Then use init(ints:) to convert the column to a column of integers. let intsColumn = MLUntypedColumn(ints: stringColumn) print(intsColumn) /* Prints...  ValueType: Int  Values:        [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]  */
