class Std

The Std class provides standard methods for manipulating basic types.

Class Fields

static function is(v:Dynamic, t:Dynamic): Bool

Tells if a value v is of the type t. Returns false if v or t are null.

static function parseFloat(x:String): Float

Converts a String to a Float.

The parsing rules for parseInt apply here as well, with the exception of invalid input resulting in a NaN value instead of null.

Additionally, decimal notation may contain a single . to denote the start of the fractions.

static function parseInt(x:String): Null<Int>

Converts a String to an Int.

Leading whitespaces are ignored.

If x starts with 0x or 0X, hexadecimal notation is recognized where the following digits may contain 0-9 and A-F.

Otherwise x is read as decimal number with 0-9 being allowed characters. x may also start with a - to denote a negative value.

In decimal mode, parsing continues until an invalid character is detected, in which case the result up to that point is returned. For hexadecimal notation, the effect of invalid characters is unspecified.

Leading 0s that are not part of the 0x/0X hexadecimal notation are ignored, which means octal notation is not supported.

If the input cannot be recognized, the result is null.

static function string(s:Dynamic): String

Converts any value to a String.

If s is of String, Int, Float or Bool, its value is returned.

If s is an instance of a class and that class or one of its parent classes has a toString method, that method is called. If no such method is present, the result is unspecified.

If s is an enum constructor without argument, the constructor's name is returned. If arguments exists, the constructor's name followed by the String representations of the arguments is returned.

If s is a structure, the field names along with their values are returned. The field order and the operator separating field names and values are unspecified.

If s is null, "null" is returned.
