SYNOPSIS int to_int(string) int to_int(float) int to_int(int) int to_int(closure) (int) DESCRIPTION Floats are truncated to integer values, strings with leadings digits are converted to integers up to the first non-digit. lfun-closures are converted into their function index (not adjusted for inheritance), variable closure are converted into their variable index. Integers are just returned. Regarding floats, it is important to keep rounding effects in mind: to_int(3.1*10.0) does not return 31, but instead 30, because internally the result of the multiplication is 30.999999 . The function supports the '0x', '0o' and '0b' base prefixes. BUGS The cast notation only works if the precise type of is known at compile-time. This will not be fixed - use the function form instead. HISTORY Introduced in 3.2.1@2 LDMud 3.2.11/3.3.611 added support for the base prefixes. SEE ALSO to_string(E), sscanf(E)
