I want to convert "text of label 1(random integer)" to number format...

How to convert text into number?

I have two inputs, both of them are strings. I want to add the first input to the second (firstInput + secondInput) but I can't do this because the addition operation does not accept text.

Such question already exists. Try searching before you post

A number present in a text string will be treated as a number and not text.

[Mayank_Kumar]

Sorry, @Alaqmar_Bohori but I had tried that 2 weeks ago and it didn't work for me.

[Alaqmar_Bohori]

But it works, isn't it?
What did not work for you?

I have used this method in my app and have never faced any issues

[Mayank_Kumar]

2 weeks ago I and a few classmates tried using a string directly as a number. And it gave me an error message.

[Alaqmar_Bohori]

Could you show the error?

[mal_ju]

I want to

Label7(text) →  number        

How can I ?

[Mayank_Kumar]

I don't exactly remember, neither do I have any screenshots

[Alaqmar_Bohori]

Is there any specific reason to covert it to number? Because as I showed, all operations work good with a text string containing only numbers

[mal_ju]

text "17" → number "17"

How ????

[Anke]

@mal_ju

text "17" → number "17"

... and again:

So where is the problem and what is the goal?

[TIMAI2]

If you must:

but as previously said, the string will be treated as a number in mathematical operations. However, the number may be treated differently in (online databases) - e.g. firebase/mySQL/sqLite - but this will depend on how you transfer it.

@mal_ju

text "17" → number "17"

How???? Why????

May we know?

Or maybe something like this :

@mal_ju never mentioned comparing of the spelling and numeral of any number!
@Salman_Dev kindly do not go off topic
