int

Returns an int from a specified value. If no value is given, the default integer 0 is returned.

If the specified value was a float value, then the new integer value will be rounded towards zero.

If the specified value is of type str, then the initial characters of the string are converted until a non-digit character is found. Initial white space is ignored and the number may start with an optional + or - sign.

Type bool values are converted to 1 for true and 0 for false.

This function does not generate a change.

Return value
