String to Int in Perl

Sure, to convert a string to an integer in Perl, you can use the built-in int() function.

Here are some examples:

my $string_num = "10";
# convert string to integer

my $int_num = int($string_num);
print "The string $string_num is converted to the integer $int_num\n";

Output: The string 10 is converted to the integer 10

my $string_num = "10.7";
# convert string to integer

my $int_num = int($string_num);
print "The string $string_num is converted to the integer $int_num\n";

Output: The string 10.7 is converted to the integer 10

Note that when the input string contains a decimal, the int() function will round down to the nearest integer.

my $string_num = "abc123";
# convert string to integer

my $int_num = int($string_num);
print "The string $string_num is converted to the integer $int_num\n";

Output: The string abc123 is converted to the integer 0

If the input string cannot be converted to an integer, the int() function returns 0.
