CAST A NUMBER¶
Casts a scalar text value to a numeric type (integer or float). Use this worker when a downstream step requires a strongly-typed number but the pipeline carries the value as a string.
When to use¶
Classification: process.
Tagged: cast, float, integer, numeric, scalar, text, type_conversion.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text To Cast | texttocast | scalar | — | The scalar text value to be cast (e.g. “42” or “3.14”); leave blank if the value will be wired in dynamically at runtime. | |
| Cast Type | casttype | string | integer | Target numeric type for the cast — choose “integer” to truncate to a whole number or “float” to preserve decimal precision; defaults to “integer”. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| text_cast_output_1 | text_cast_output_1 | scalar | The input value re-emitted as a typed scalar of the requested numeric kind (integer or float). |
