Ambiguous use of operator '!='? - function

Question

I am trying to create an if else statement. If the randomNumber equals the text of a label, then I want to add 1 to the CorrectLabel. If they do not equal each other than I want to add 1 to the IncorrectLabel. Here is my code:
#IBAction func checkButton(sender: UIButton) {
if ( "\(randomImageGeneratorNumber)" == "\(currentCountLabel.text)"){
currectAmountCorrect += 1
CorrectLabel.text = "\(currectAmountCorrect)"
}else if ("\(randomImageGeneratorNumber)" != "\(currentCountLabel.text)"){
currentAmountIncorrect += 1
IncorrectLabel.text = "\(currentAmountIncorrect)"
}
}
I am getting an error on the "else if" statement line saying "Ambiguous use of operator '!=' ". I am unsure of what this error means or how to fix it.
What does this error mean and how can it be fixed?

Answer 1

You shouldn't compare like that. Just use .toInt() to cast the labeltext to int and compare it like that:
var currentCount = currentCountLabel.text?.toInt()
if randomImageGeneratorNumber == currentCount {
currectAmountCorrect += 1
CorrectLabel.text = "\(currectAmountCorrect)"
} else {
currentAmountIncorrect += 1
IncorrectLabel.text = "\(currentAmountIncorrect)"
}
There is no need to put your value into a "".

First of all, you don't need to make comparison twice. Your code looks like
if true {
...
} else if false {
...
}
And, yes, int comparison would be better:
if let textAmount = currentCountLabel.text where randomImageGeneratorNumber == textAmount.toInt() {
currectAmountCorrect += 1
CorrectLabel.text = "\(currectAmountCorrect)"
} else {
currentAmountIncorrect += 1
IncorrectLabel.text = "\(currentAmountIncorrect)"
}
