====== Number parsing functions ======

Number parsing functions parse strings like ''"123"'', ''"3.14"'' or ''"0xff"'' and return an integer or fixed-point number of the same value.

===== Simple number parsing =====

Simple number parsing functions return 0 if the input string cannot be parsed as a number, and return the minimum or maximum possible value (''INT_MIN'' or ''INT_MAX'') if the input string is a number beyond [[limits|value limits]] of ACS variables.

  * ''int atoi(str s)'' parses a string as integer and returns its value.
  * ''fixed atof(str s)'' parses a string as a fixed-point number and returns its value.

''fixed'' numbers have a limited precision after the point. ''atof'' tries to parse fixed-point numbers to the best precision, but is biased toward 0.

===== Accepted formats =====

Number parsing functions parse the following number format:

  * Integers: ''<sign> <base prefix> <digits>''
  * Fixed-point numbers: ''<sign> <base prefix> <digits> . <digits>''

There must be no spaces in the string, not even around the number.

Sign can be ''+'', ''-'', or nothing (equivalent to ''+''_.

Base prefix can be one of the following:

  * Nothing -- base 10
  * ''0x'' -- base 16 (case-insensitive)
  * ''0o'' -- base 8
  * ''0b'' -- base 2

===== Advanced parsing functions =====

  * ''int, int ParseInt(str s, int default_base)''
  * ''int, fixed ParseFixed(str s, int default_base)''

Advanced number parsing functions return two values. The first one is a status code, and the second is parsing result:

  * ''PARSENUMBER_SUCCESS'' -- no errors happened while parsing the number. The second value is the parsed number
  * ''PARSENUMBER_OVERFLOW'' -- the value is out of [[limits|range limits]] of ''int''. The second value is either ''INT_MIN'' or ''INT_MAX'', depending on the sign of the input number.
  * ''PARSENUMBER_BADFORMAT'' -- the input string doesn't conform to the format. The second value is 0.

The parameter ''default_base'' sets the default base to parse the number in if it has no base prefix. Bases up to 36 are supported, using the following digits: ''0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz''. Digits beyond ''9'' are case-insensitive.
