B.1.3 Conversions

Functions for converting between strings and numeric values.

toString( value )

Turns a numeric value into a string.

parseByte( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as a byte (8-bit signed integer) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

parseShort( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as a short (16-bit signed integer) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

parseInt( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as an int (32-bit signed integer) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

parseLong( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as a long (64-bit signed integer) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

parseFloat( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as a float (32-bit floating point) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

parseDouble( str )

Attempts to interpret a string as a double (64-bit signed integer) value. If the input string can't be interpreted in this way, a blank value will result.

toByte( value )

Attempts to convert the numeric argument to a byte (8-bit signed integer) result. If it is out of range, a blank value will result.

toShort( value )

Attempts to convert the numeric argument to a short (16-bit signed integer) result. If it is out of range, a blank value will result.

toInteger( value )

Attempts to convert the numeric argument to an int (32-bit signed integer) result. If it is out of range, a blank value will result.

toLong( value )

Attempts to convert the numeric argument to a long (64-bit signed integer) result. If it is out of range, a blank value will result.

toFloat( value )

Attempts to convert the numeric argument to a float (32-bit floating point) result. If it is out of range, a blank value will result.

toDouble( value )

Converts the numeric argument to a double (64-bit signed integer) result.

toHex( value )

Converts the integer argument to hexadecimal form.

fromHex( hexVal )

Converts a string representing a hexadecimal number to its integer value.
