( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I am trying to convert a javascript to perl, a silly little utility for password checking (not that I need it to work, I just want to learn how). The section of the script that I am having problems with is
y=3710 v=Math.sqrt(y) v=parseInt(v,16)
The place I'm running into trouble is the parseInt(v,16) line. I looked it up on a java script tutorial site but am having trouble finding a similar function in perl, according to the above link, "The parseInt function parses its first argument, a string, and attempts to return an integer of the specified radix (base)".

Can someone point me to where I might be able to find such a beast in perl? (i.e. a way to get 96 from 60.909769331364245)

My apologies if this question has already been asked, but I was unable to locate information about it from the search box.

  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
