Return to Functions

bool

    Arguments:
        1) any: value
    Return Type:
        bool

Returns a bool constructed from the given value.

real

    Arguments:
        1) any: value
    Return Type:
        real

Returns a real constructed from the given value.

char

    Arguments:
        1) any: value
    Return Type:

string

    Arguments:
        1) any: value
    Return Type:
        string

This function is faster than ToString.

        1) array|string|table: value
    Return Type:
        array

Returns a array constructed from the given value.

This behaves differently depending on the type of the value passed:

• array: constructs a shallow copy of the array
• string: constructs an array containing the characters in the string
• table: constructs an array containing all the keys of the table

table

    Arguments:
        1) table: value
    Return Type:
        table

Returns a table constructed from a shallow copy of the given table.
