integer checking ?

[mhk]

hi,

is there any function in Javascript to check/validate integer value.
there is parseInt(val) but it only checks first digit.

example : to find error in 123k44

myVar = "123k44"

if (myVar == +myVar)

lightly tested.

yes ... looks like its working but what that "+" does ?
Thanks

But that will "validate" any number, not just integers.

If the requirement is that the variable only contains digits (that is,
no decimal point or any other character), if:

var isInt = /^\d+$/.test(a)

then isInt will be true only if 'a' contains only digits.

However, 0.2e3 is a valid int (it is equivalent to 200) - is that OK
with the OP? And 5.0 is a valid int too, but will fail the test.

As NaN is specified as never equalling NaN and Math.floor(NaN) results
in NaN:-

function isInteger(n){
return (Math.floor(n) == n);
}

- would be simpler.

isInteger("100000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000.3")
isInteger("9007199254740993")
isInteger("3e+333")
isInteger("3e-333")
isInteger("0xbead")

give true.
Before testing for integer, one should first consider what one really
should be testing for; usually, one wants a digit in [1-9] followed by
not too many decimal digits. The OP should use a RegExp.

[sancha]

function isAllDigitsint(argvalue) {
argvalue = argvalue.toString();
var validChars = "0123456789";
var startFrom = 0;
if (argvalue.substring(0, 2) == "0x") {
validChars = "0123456789abcdefABCDEF";
startFrom = 2;
} else if (argvalue.charAt(0) == "0") {
validChars = "01234567";
startFrom = 1;
} else if (argvalue.charAt(0) == "-") {
startFrom = 1;
}

for (var n = startFrom; n < argvalue.length; n++) {
if (validChars.indexOf(argvalue.substring(n, n+1))
== -1) return false;
}
return true;

checks to see if all digits are int
parseInt this and u should get ur result
Problem ???
this accepts octal.
and 09 fails .. need to improve the script.
Please help
