Hex Editor Neo provides a number of built-in functions, that perform type cast on their parameters:

int()

Convert a given parameter to an integer value. Floating-point numbers are truncated to nearest integer, strings are parsed as containing an integer. If parsing error occurs, the result of the conversion is zero.

double()

Convert a given parameter to a floating-point value. If used on string, a string is parsed as containing a floating-point number. If parsing error occurs, the result of the conversion is zero.

string()

Convert a given parameter to a string value.

type()

Determine the type of the expression. Returns one of the following values (symbolic names are predefined in stddefs.h):

Symbolic Constant	Value	Type of Expression
BooleanType	0	bool
IntegerType	1	int
FloatingPointType	2	double
StringType	3	string

Examples

int(2.5)           // results to 2 (integer)
int("89")          // results to 89 (integer)
double("7.8")      // results to 7.8 (floating-point)
double("string")   // results to 0.0 (floating-point)
