fromString

public static unsigned short fromString(string numberAsStr)

The unsigned short equivalent of the string value or zero (0) if the string is not a numeric value.

Parameters

numberAsStr

The string value to convert.

Converts a string to an unsigned short value.

import System;

unsigned short x = UInteger16.fromString("100");
Console.log(x); // 100

If the string being converted is not a valid integer value, zero (0) is returned.

import System;

unsigned short x = UInteger16.fromString("abc");
Console.log(x); // 0

If the string being converted is numeric but does not fit into the unsigned short data range [ 0, 65535 ] (inclusive), the value will be wrapped: if the value exceeds the unsigned short maximum (65,535) by one, it will wrap around to the unsigned short minimum (0); if the value exceeds the unsigned short maximum by two, it will wrap around to the unsigned short minimum plus one (1); and so on.

import System;

unsigned short exceedByOne = UInteger16.fromString("65536");
Console.log(exceedByOne); // 0
unsigned short exceedByTwo = UInteger16.fromString("65537");
Console.log(exceedByTwo); // 1
unsigned short exceedByThree = UInteger16.fromString("65538");
Console.log(exceedByThree); // 2
