atoi
The standard function atoi
provides the following interface:
fun atoi = (string str, int base = 10) long: { … }
It parses a signed integral number in the given base in the string str and returns it as a signed 64-bit integer.
The accepted values for base are the same as for ‘strtoi’. See strtoi for a list of supported bases.
Note that atoi allows for extra information to be stored in str after the parsed integer. Thus, this works:
(poke) atoi ("10foo") 10L
