RE: String To Number Conversion

[ext-Chetak.Sasalu]

Hi ,

You do not need a atoi function in Perl. All the strings can be used as a 
number based on the context.

for example

$str1 = '50';
$str2 = '2';

$sum = $num1 + $num2; # sum is now 52

$str_cat = $num1.$num2; #str_cat is 502


HTH,
Chetak

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to convert string into Number in Perl. Just like the 
classic atoi function of C.
Thanks a lot in advance

Yep.  perl does.

If you want something to be a number, use it as one.

$ perl -le '$a = "0.36"; $b = "2.456e3 or so"; $c = $a + $b; print $c'
2456.36
