10132 :: how to read integers from keyboard

• LP (orginal) [2023-04-26T09:20:44+02:00] view original

  I'm new to nim. I want to read integers input at the keyboard. readLine expects a string. I see there is a readChars. But there seems to be no readInt

  You don't need a "readInt" - you just read a string, and then parse it into an int.

  import std/strutils
  
  stdout.write "Enter a number: "
  try:
    let num = parseInt(stdin.readLine())
  except ValueError:
    echo "That's not a number!"
  Run
