int
int — converts to integer form.
Arguments
- s_exp
Any Gamma or Lisp expression.
Returns
An integer representation of the argument.
Description
This function converts the argument to an
integer. Floating point numbers are truncated. Binaries,
hexadecimals and characters convert to decimal
integers. In strings, if the first character(s) are
numerical, they will be converted to an
integer. Otherwise, a string will return zero. All other
expression types generate zero.
