[v2] String to number

12 Aug 2018, 07:55

I need to convert the values ​​in the string to numeric values. I found this very difficult. Do you have any quick methods?

I found that converting them requires a complicated process:
e.g. ["6.9","232","-8.3"]

You can just calculate with them?
In AHK every string can be used like a number as long as it only consists of a single number (e.g. the numbers you presented.)

There are two (suitable) functions available, integer and float.

Can you link the addresses of these two functions? I can't find.

One problem is that its conversion is not accurate, it is very bad when converting JSON data:

Float("6.9") ;==>6.9000000000000004

this topic, in addition to explaining why "Float()" cannot be accurately converted, is there any help for "accurate conversion type"?

AutoHotkeys floating point numbers are as precise as a double sized float (its the standar size).
If you want more precision you need a different type.

The conversion is accurate. The data type is not (for decimal fractions). You can't even choose to use or simulate a different data type if you're using DllCall. At some point the value must be converted to the type that the external function requires.
