FAQ Topic - Why does 1+1 equal 11? or How do I convert a string to a number?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Javascript variables are loosely typed: the conversion between a
string and a number happens automatically. Since plus (+) is also
used as in string concatenation, « '1' + 1 » is equal to « '11' »: the
String deciding what + does. To overcome this, first convert the
string to a number. For example:
« Number(varname) » or « varname*1 » or « varname-0 » or
« parseInt(varnam e, 10) » or « parseFloat(varn ame) » or « +varname ».
Prompt and form control values are strings, as is the result from
a prompt window. Convert these to numbers before performing
addition.

Do I need to convert string to integer in python? or it will do it for
me (since dynamic type)?
In my python script, I have this line:
x /= 10;
when i run it, I get this error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /=: 'unicode' and 'int'
I want to divide x by 10 and assign that value back to x.

FAQ 3.5. - How do I convert a Number into a String with exactly 2 decimal places?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
When formatting money for example, to format 6.57634 to
6.58, 6.5 to 6.50, and 6 to 6.00?
Rounding of x.xx5 is uncertain, as such numbers are not
represented exactly.

total talktime spend on each number.
i already have a unique list of the phone numbers.

each number.
on the bill, each line has a few fields,one field containing the phone
number, another field containing the number of minutes on that call.
the bill is comma delimited.

Here I am with another question being a very new VBA user.
I have this scenario to work with: I would think this is fairly common routine of work for VBA.
I have a string of hex contents as characters such as
String1 = “3B F0 96 00 FF C0 0A 31 FE 4D D1”
I need to do some calculation with these and then update a table with the text value. For example, A sum of all these.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
