Brief Description

Integer built-in type.

Methods

Description

Signed 64-bit integer type.

It can take values in the interval [-2^63, 2^63 - 1], i.e. [-9223372036854775808, 9223372036854775807]. Exceeding those bounds will wrap around.

int is a Variant type, and will thus be used when assigning an integer value to a Variant. It can also be enforced with the : int type hint.

var my_variant = 0    # int, value 0
my_variant += 4.2     # float, value 4.2
var my_int: int = 1   # int, value 1
my_int = 4.2          # int, value 4, the right value is implicitly cast to int
my_int = int("6.7")   # int, value 6, the String is explicitly cast with [method int]
var max_int = 9223372036854775807
print(max_int)        # 9223372036854775807, OK
max_int += 1
print(max_int)        # -9223372036854775808, we overflowed and wrapped around

Method Descriptions

• int int ( bool from )

Cast a bool value to an integer value, int(true) will be equals to 1 and int(false) will be equals to 0.

• int int ( float from )

Cast a float value to an integer value, this method simply removes the number fractions, so for example int(2.7) will be equals to 2, int(.1) will be equals to 0 and int(-2.7) will be equals to -2.

• int int ( String from )

Cast a String value to an integer value, this method is an integer parser from a string, so calling this method with an invalid integer string will return 0, a valid string will be something like '1.7'. This method will ignore all non-number characters, so calling int('1e3') will return 13.
