Description

The Number.parseInt method parses a value as a string and returns the first integer.

A radix parameter specifies the number system to use:

2 = binary, 8 = octal, 10 = decimal, 16 = hexadecimal.

If radix is omitted, JavaScript assumes radix 10. If the value begins with "0x", JavaScript assumes radix 16.

Notes

If the first character cannot be converted, NaN is returned.

Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.

Only the first integer found is returned.
