integer

Converts an object to an integer.

Syntax

• integer(X)

  • X is any object

Description

If X is an integer stored in any object of number type, then integer(X) returns this integer as an integer object.

If X is a vector, matrix, list, set, or structure – in each case containing only a single element which is an integer – then this integer is returned in the form of an integer object.

If X is a string, an attempt is made to parse it as an integer. If successful, the parsed integer is returned.

In all other cases, integer(X) returns an error.
