Conversion Functions

btoi(a) {bool int}
  Converts the boolean values t and f into 1 and 0, respectively.

code_char(a) {int char}
  Converts an integer to a character. The integer must be the code for a valid character.

char_code(a) {char int}
  Converts a character to its integer code.

float(v) {int float}
  Converts an integer to a floating-point number.

ceil(v) {float int}
  Converts a floating-point number to an integer by truncating toward positive infinity.

floor(v) {float int}
  Converts a floating-point number to an integer by truncating toward negative infinity.

trunc(v) {float int}
  Converts a floating-point number to an integer by truncating toward zero.

round(v) {float int}
  Converts a floating-point number to an integer by rounding to the nearest integer; if the number is exactly halfway between two integers, then it is implementation specific to which integer it is rounded.
