AW: [flexcoders] Re: Number(011) = 9 ????
Well sorry, I haven't been specific enough.
Here it comes:
I have got Strings of the form 009, 010, 011,..., 999 which I expect
to be a decimal number, and so I was confused, that the output of
Number(011) is 9.
I didn't know that a 0 in front of literal is a specifier for octal
literals.
So parseInt(011,10) does exactly what I want to do. It interprets 011 as
the decimal 11.
My last question was only, whether there is a way to use the Number class to
produce this output, because I thought that it is not the most
object-oriented way to use the global function parseInt(...)...
Thanks for the replies
Christoph

If you do parseInt(011, 10), I'm pretty sure what happens is this:
1. The octal literal 011 is compiled as the decimal Number 9.
2. It is converted at runtime to the string 9, because parseInt expects
to parse a string.
3. parseInt parses 9 to produce 9.
Obviously, this is a waste of time. 011 already *is* 9 at compile time. It
is just a different way of writing it, just like 0x09 is a different way
of writing it. For example, try this:
trace(011 - 1);
The output is 8.

Hi,
What do you want to do?
Convert 011 to decimal 11
Or convert octal(11) to decimal(9)
parseInt(..) is a global function and first argument is an expression, so
you can pass number also:
parseInt(011, 10) - 9 (decimal)

Ok thank you all,
I workaround (or isn't it a workaround??) this problem by using
parseInt(011, 10) to get the decimal-system value.
How can I use the Number-class to convert the values?
Is there a
Number.parseInt() function?
There is no such function mentioned in the Flex ActionScript Language
Reference... can you provide me with a better API?
Cheers
Christoph

If they are all octal numbers, you can use
mx.controls.Alert.show( + Number(011).toString(8));

It's performing an octal to decimal conversion. You can use the
Number class to convert between various different number bases.
