Convert library¶

Type-conversion helpers with names that read as verbs, wrapping Candela's built-in int, float, str, and bool conversions. Import the library with import std::convert; at the top-level.

This module is written in Candela and uses no dynamic library, so a program that imports it builds to a .cdlb artifact that runs under candela-vm with the module bytecode inlined.

To int¶

to_int(x) -> int -- parses a string or truncates a float to an int.

To float¶

to_float(x) -> float -- parses a string or widens an int to a float.

To string¶

to_string(x) -> string -- renders any value as its string form.

To bool¶

to_bool(x: string) -> bool -- parses the strings "true" and "false" into a bool.
