String Combination (Concatenation)

String to Number Datatype

Converts the String input (user input or String variable) into a numeric data type (Integer or Float) and returns it.

• toInt - Converts the input String into an Integer (int) data type.
• toFloat - Converts the input String into a Float (float) data type.

Example 1: toInt "7.11" returns 7 of int data type.

Example 2: toFloat "7.11" returns 7.11 of float data type

• Note: Did you know that in the examples above that "7.11" is of data type String. Which is just a sequence of characters( 7, ., 1, 1).
