conversions

# Conversions are explicit: nothing changes type on its own.

n = 42
puts n.to_f
puts n.to_s + "!"

f = 9.99
puts f.to_i
puts f.round(1)

# From text. `to_i` expects a number; `to_i?` answers nil when there is none.
puts "17".to_i + 1
puts "17".to_i?
puts "seventeen".to_i?

# A Char is a byte, and its code is a number.
puts 'A'.ord
puts 66.chr

You can type in the pane: nothing here compiles, so what you type cannot run, and the page says which bytes it is running the moment the text stops being the recorded file. There is no standard input, no filesystem and no threads on this target, and one sample fails on purpose for exactly that reason.

Run executes conversions.wasm, the module the compiler built from this file, in your browser. How this works

$ iyi run conversions.iyi
