Types & Conversion

These methods work on any value, regardless of its type - converting between types, copying, dynamic access and runtime assertions.

log "42".toNum()         // 42
log [1, 2, 3].clone()    // independent copy
log [1, 2, 3].len        // 3 (property - no parentheses)

In this section

• Conversion - toStr, toNum, toInt, toBool, toArray, toObject, and the len property.

• Utility - clone, item, reverse, call, match, and the advanced assert / assertElse runtime casts.

To get a value's type name, use the typeof(value) function. The result and option types have their own methods (isOk, unwrap, …) documented with their packages.
