Flash / Flex / ActionScript/Data Type/int

An example of a for statement that outputs the numbers from 0 to 999

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       for (var i:int = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
         trace(i);
       }
       trace ("That"s the end.");
   }
 }

}

Combining operators with assignment will use the left-hand side of the expression as the first operand

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var a=10;
       a = a + 10;
       //can be more concisely written as
       a += 10;
   }
 }

Creates a variable named width, of type int, and assigns it the value 25

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       var width:int = 25;
       trace(width);
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Display a sequence of square roots

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       for (var i:Number = 50; i > 2; i = Math.sqrt(i)) {
         trace(i);
       }
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Include the number variable in a string expression. This will implicitly convert the number to a String.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
       for (var i:int = 99; i > 0; i--) {
           trace(i + "bottles of beer on the wall");
       }
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

parseInt(): interpret the text as a number in an arbitrary base.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
    trace(parseInt("3.14")); // 3

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

The int type is perfect for counters, and is frequently found in for loops:

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
        for (var i:int = 0; i < 1000; i++){
        }
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

toExponential()

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
         var x = 2 / 3;
         trace(x.toExponential()); 

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

toFixed()

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
         var x = 2 / 3;
         trace(x.toFixed()); 
   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

toPrecision()

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
     var x = 2 / 3;
     trace(x.toPrecision("3")); 

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

Use int() to convert string to integer

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
        trace(int("3.14")); // 3

   }
 }

}

       </source>
   
  

You can also use exponential notation to declare numbers.

   <source lang="java">

package{

 import flash.display.Sprite;
 
 public class Main extends Sprite{
   public function Main(){
        2.007e3; // 2007
        1414e-3; // 1.414
        1.9e+17; // 190,000,000,000,000,000
   }
 }

}
