I use parseInt and always specify the radix. The Number constructor used as a cast does something totally different. Neither will always do what you want. But if you're looking for an integer from a string, and you don't even control it enough to be sure it doesn't have a "0" at the beginning,

It's not so much a V8 bug, but an unfortunate feature of JavaScript itself. Crockford would call this one of the "bad parts". parseInt() tries to be clever and guess the radix if you don't give it one. Numbers starting with "0" are assumed to be octal (unless it starts with "0x" of course). Whi
