int

Integer built-in type.

Description

Signed 64-bit integer type.

It can take values in the interval[-2^63,2^63-1], i.e.[-9223372036854775808,9223372036854775807]. Exceeding those bounds will wrap around.

int is aVariant type, and will thus be used when assigning an integer value to aVariant. It can also be enforced with the:int type hint.

Method Descriptions

Cast abool value to an integer value,int(true) will be equals to 1 andint(false) will be equals to 0.

Cast a float value to an integer value, this method simply removes the number fractions (i.e. roundsfrom towards zero), so for exampleint(2.7) will be equals to 2,int(0.1) will be equals to 0 andint(-2.7) will be equals to -2. This operation is also called truncation.

Cast aString value to an integer value, this method is an integer parser from a string, so calling this method with an invalid integer string will return 0, a valid string will be something like'1.7'. This method will ignore all non-number characters, so callingint('1e3') will return 13.
