Le forum de XCAS

Hello BP, to give similarity to the Python syntax, please overload the INTEGER command

integer() as a function synonym of expr() and iPart() cmd

example
integer("42") [enter] 42
integer("1.25") [enter] 1

I note that the float command does operate in this way =)

float("3.14") [enter] 3.14
float(10) [enter] 10.0

integer does not exist in Python, it's int, and it's already in Xcas if you select Python syntax compatibility.

Ok, but that the integer() command is available in xcas is also a good idea.

In addition, in some cases it is required to extract only the entire part of a number that is enclosed as a string.
integer("1.25") [enter] 1

About expr() cmd in the case of expr(5) return 5 and not expr(5)

int does that in Python mode. Please check before asking.
