parse

Converts the string to its equivalent int representation

Function discards any whitespace characters until first non-whitespace character is found. Then it takes as many characters as possible to form a valid integer number representation and converts them to integer value. The valid integer value consists of the following parts:

• (optional) plus or minus sign
• numeric digits

Example: String to int:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Output: ``10``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("10"));

	// Output: ``10``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("10"));

	// Output: ``10``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("10xx"));

	// Output: ``0``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("A"));

	// Output: ``0``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("a"));

	// Output: ``0``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("x11"));

	// Output: ``2147483647``
	print ("%d\n", int.parse ("999999999999999999999999999999999"));

	return 0;
}
