Hi, facing a problem here in core part of brightscript. like, str = "1234567891000" , and @console typing print str.toInt() and getting Output as 2147483647 though type Integer. Why? :?:

I've been blinded! :shock: 8-) Please use more normal colors, better for our eyes.

As to the problem, I can't help, sorry

Your conversion has exceeded the maximum size of an integer, being the value it has returned.

not sure why i remained stuck on this for a long time but you can call toInt() function on your strings to convert strings to int.

Reference:

It's too big to be an int - BS has a 'long' but there's no "toLong" method.

Weirdly this works:

parseJson("1234567891000")

...that'll return a numeric value of type 'LongInteger'

[edit]Oh wow, only just noticed this is a thread dredged up from 2015, oops.
