Conversion functions

any2Date

Although this is any2Date the output is most helpful when the input is a str or int.

// Signature
 date any2Date(anytype object)

// Usage
 str dateAsString = "1995 5 5";
 int dateAsInt = 45;
 date myDate = any2Date(dateAsString);
 myDate = any2Date(dateAsInt);

any2Enum

Although this is any2Enum the output is most helpful when the input is an int or str.

// Signature
 int any2Int(anytype object)

// Usage
 str intAsString = "1";
 int enumAsInt = 0;

 NoYes myEnum = any2Enum(intAsString); // Yes
 myEnum = any2Enum(enumAsInt); // No

any2Guid

any2Int

Although this is any2Int the output is most helpful when the input is a real, enum or str.

// Signature
 int any2Int(anytype object)

// Usage
 str intAsString = "1995";
 real intAsReal = 1.024e3;
 NoYes isAlive = NoYes::Yes;

 int myInt = any2Int(intAsString); // 1995
 myInt = any2Int(intAsReal); // 1024
 myInt = any2Int(isAlive); // 1

any2Int64

Although this is any2Int64 the output is most helpful when the input is a real, enum or str.

// Signature
 int64 any2Int(anytype object)

Usage is similar to any2Int

any2Real

Although this is any2Real the output is most helpful when the input is a real, enum or str.

// Signature
 real any2Real(anytype object)

// Usage
 str realAsString = "1995";
 int realAsInt = 10;
 NoYes isAlive = NoYes::Yes;

 real myReal = any2Real(intAsString); // 1.995e3
 myReal = any2Real(intAsReal); // 1e1
 myReal = any2Real(isAlive); // 1e0
