f64
lib callCapy
function f64(value : as string, opt : dval = {}) f64f64() converts the exact text from value to a floating-point value. The value must contain a complete decimal number. opt.fallback is the result for empty text or text that does not parse. It defaults to 0.0.
value accepts scalar values through as string. The conversion keeps scalar text exact. Empty and missing dval values both convert to empty text. Use value? before conversion when presence matters. An empty value is present, but a missing value is not.
The options map accepts only fallback. An unknown key, including base, is an error.
Parameters
value : scalar value or text to convert
opt : options map with fallback
Return Values
An f64 value, or opt.fallback.
Example
Capy
print(f64("3.5"), "\n")
print(f64("not a number", {fallback: 9.0}), "\n")
