LOLCODE also allows converting string types, or YARN
s, to the two numeric types. The syntax is the same: given a variable name, follow it with IS NOW A
and the numeric type to convert to.
Converting strings to numbers can be useful when our program receives input using GIMMEH
. Inputs are stored as YARN
s, so to convert them to numbers, we’ll need to use IS NOW A
.
