Convert a String to int?

by

You can directly convert to an int using the str::parse::<T>() method.

let my_string = "27".to_string();  // `parse()` works with `&str` and `String`!
let my_int = my_string.parse::<i32>().unwrap();

You can either specify the type to parse to with the turbofish operator (::<>) as shown above or via explicit type annotation:

let my_int: i32 = my_string.parse().unwrap();

As mentioned in the comments, parse() returns a Result. This result will be an Err if the string couldn’t be parsed as the type specified (for example, the string "peter" can’t be parsed as i32).
