iOS: Convert Integer with value over Thousand to a shorter Integer with letter 'K'

Question

I would like to convert a big Integer (over 1 Thousand) to a String with 'K' at the end like in Instagram: Example:

Look into the `NSByteCountFormatter` class. Much easier than all of the links you've been given. — rmaddy, Aug 13 '14 at 16:22

NSString *intWithK = myint >= 1000 ? [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%dk", myint / 1000] : [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", myint]

Should work :)

I your integer (I called it myint) is greater or equal to 1000 it'll divide it by 1000 and add "k", but won't do anything if it's smaller
