20 :: string to int?

• asterite (orginal) [2012-05-28T05:25:54+02:00] view original

  I'm starting to code in Nimrod and I'm beginning with easy things. The usual "guess the number between 1 and 100".

  How can I convert a string to an int? In some source code I see parseInt(num) but...

  import parseutils
  
  var num = parseInt("10")
  Run

  foo.nim(4, 19) Error: type mismatch: got (string) but expected one of: parseInt(s: string, number: var int, start: int): int

  This works

  var str = "10"
  discard parseInt("10", num)
  Run

  But, really? I have to write all of that to convert a string to an int? Or is there a shorter way I'm missing?

  The documentation is nice but it's not sorted, so it's hard to find anything there...

  Thanks!

  There is an index that you can use to find things easily, for 0.8.14: http://nimrod-code.org/theindex.html and for the latest git version: http://build.nimrod-code.org/docs/theindex.html What I think you're looking for is parseInt from the strutils module.
