title: Converting Dictionary key values into NSNumber
body: <p>I just successfully finished making my first JSON request and deserializing the information now all I need to do is know how to gather a few values from my dictionary. Here's what the request looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@implementation ViewController {
      GMSMapView *mapView_;
  }
  
  - (void)viewDidLoad
  {
      [super viewDidLoad];
  
      // Make the URL connection in order to download JSON/XML data.
      NSString *urlAsString = @"weburlgoeshere...";
      NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAsString];
      NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
      NSOperationQueue *queue = [[NSOperationQueue alloc] init];
  
      // Error and success message handling.
      [NSURLConnection
      sendAsynchronousRequest:urlRequest
      queue:queue
       completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
           if([data length] &gt; 0 &amp;&amp;
              error == nil){
               NSData *jsonData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
  
               if (jsonData != nil){
                   NSError *error = nil;
  
                   NSDictionary *result = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:jsonData options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:&amp;error];
                   if(error == nil)
                   NSLog(@"%@", [result valueForKey:@"merchants"]);
               }
  
           }
           else if ([data length] == 0 &amp;&amp;
           error == nil){
           NSLog(@"Nothing was downloaded");
  
           }
           else if (error != nil){
           NSLog(@"Error happened = %@", error);
  
           }
  
  
       }];
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what logs out to the console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>branches =         (
                          {
                  city = "......";
                  country = "United States";
                  countryIsoCode = USA;
                  distanceInKms = "8.31";
                  distanceInMiles = "5.16";
                  id = 7952205;
                  latitude = ".......";
                  longitude = "........";
                  name = ".......";
                  state = ......;
                  stateIsoCode = .....;
                  street = ".........";
                  telephone = "";
              }
          );
          id = 174535;
          logoUrl = ".......";
          name = ".......";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I stored all these values in an NSDictionary that I called <strong>"result"</strong> and I would like to know how to gather and store <strong>SPECIFIC</strong> key values for latitude and longitude in an NSNumber. I'm thinking that I might need to fastEnumerate most of these with a block, and then deal with the accordingly. The intent here is to use these values and display them onto a map. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!</p>
