String.toInt()

Description

Converts a valid String to an integer. The input String should start with an integer number. If the String contains non-integer numbers, the function will stop performing the conversion.

Syntax

myString.toInt()

Parameter Values

  • myString: a variable of type String.

Return Values

  • If no valid conversion could be performed because the String doesn't start with a integer number, a zero is returned. Data type: long.

Example Code

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); String myString = "20"; long myInt = myString.toInt(); Serial.println(myInt); } void loop() { }

The result on Serial Monitor:
