Convert String into Number

[schwab94]

Having trouble converting a string with a number, I've tried various things but always get a blank box or error message.
How would I go about storing the result of a variable multiplied by a number into a new variable?
test = "10"
test1 := %test% * 1000
Msgbox, %test1%

Code: Select all

test := "10"
test1 := test * 1000
Msgbox, %test1%

For more info, see the documentation on expressions.

https://biga-ahk.github.io/biga.ahk/#/?id=parseint may be of use here.

Code: Select all

A := new biga()
msgbox, % A.parseInt("10") * 1000
; => 10000

In what way is that useful here?

Are there any other ways to convert? A link to a website or a tutorial will be enough for me. Thank you in advance! I am currently writing a small program related to numerology, which consists of several functions. One of these functions will determine if the entered number is lucky with the help of [Mod edit: spam link removed.]. The second function will generate a random number, which will be checked with the first function. It is a bit strange task, but it was given to me by my programming teacher, so I have no choice)

boiler is saying you don't need special tools to convert. A string "10" assigned to a variable name through expression syntax can be used as a number, as per boiler's example.

Code: Select all

test := "10"
test1 := test * 1000
Msgbox, %test1%
