Is there any way to change variable type from "string" to "int"?

[RyuFuru12121]

Hi,

I read this article about type casting:

Type Casting and Conversion

I would like to change variable (its value is number) type from “string” to “int” on my Verse code.
However, I cannot find the way yet.

var number : string = 1
var Index : int = [Int]number # Error

Thank you,

Let me know

You can’t do that because string and int does not share any superclass in common. However, I made this code a while back. Try to use it to convert from string to int

StringToInt(IntInString: []char): int=
    # if 'IntInString' is negative
    if (IntInString[0] = '-'):
        var Value: int = 0
        loop:
            set Value -= 1
            if (ToString(Value) = IntInString):
                Print("{Value}")
                return Value
            
    # if 'IntInString' is positive
    else:
        var Value: int = -1
        loop:
            set Value += 1
            if (ToString(Value) = IntInString):
                Print("{Value}")
                return Value

Thank you for your reply.

It seems it will work well.
However, when I try to use your method in my code, some Error occur as the attached pictures.

Could you give me advice how to use it?

Thank you.

The function definition is nested inside OnBegin scope instead of the class scope. To fix it, select it and click shift + tab

Ops！

It 's my easy mistake. I confirmed that it works well on my Project.
Thank you very much!!
