HELP! Converting string to int!

I have the following:

var time = "04:52"

I want to store hour and minute into two INT variables:

var minute: Int (value should be 4)

var hour: Int (value should be 52)

Try something like this:

let time = "7:30"
let components = time.characters.split { $0 == ":" } .map { 
   (x) -> Int in return Int(String(x))! 
}

let hours = components[0]
let minutes = components[1]
