Datatypes conversion:
Red documentation
action! to
Converts one datatype! to another, e.g. an integer! to a string! , a float! to an integer! and even a string! to a number!.
>> to integer! 3.4
== 3
>> to float! 23
== 23.0
>> to string! 23.2
== "23.2"
>> to integer! "34"
== 34
function! to-time
Converts values to time! datatype.
>> to-time [22 55 48]
== 22:55:48
>> to-time [22 65 70]
== 23:06:10
>> to-time "11:15"
== 11:15:00
native! as-pair
Converts two integer! or float! into pair!. Note that this is not exactly a "conversion" as we are creating a new value from two values that may even be of different datatypes, as is the case when we "join" a float! and an integer! into a pair!.
>> as-pair 11 53
== 11x53
>> as-pair 3.2 5.67
== 3x5
>> as-pair 88 12.7
== 88x12
function! to-binary
Convert to binary! value. It seems that it's not a base converter, but a datatype converter.
>> to-binary 8
== #{00000008}
>> to-binary 33
== #{00000021}
