Synopsis

Convert a string to an integer

Syntax

Integer_Type integer (String_Type s)

Description

The integer function converts a string representation of an integer back to an integer. If the string does not form a valid integer, a type-mismatch error will be generated.

Example

integer ("1234") returns the integer value 1234.

This function operates only on strings and is not the same as the more general typecast operator.
