Native Lua statement:
- Arguments
- tonumber(arg {,base})
- arg - this value will be converted to a numeric value.
- base - An optional argument specifies the base to interpret the numeral. The base may be any integer between 2 and 36, inclusive. In bases above 10, the letter `A´ (in either upper or lower case) represents 10, `B´ represents 11, and so forth, with `Z´ representing 35. In base 10 (the default), the number may have a decimal part, as well as an optional exponent part. In other bases, only unsigned integers are accepted.
- Returns
- The argument as a numeric value or nil if the value cannot be converted.
- Examples
tonumber("123")
--Returns 123
tonumber("argqerg")
--Returns nil
tonumber("13", 8)
--Returns 11
tonumber ("D", 16)
--Returns 13
