uint() function
uint() converts a value to an unsigned integer type.
uint() behavior depends on the input data type:
| Input type | Returned value |
|---|---|
| bool | 1 (true) or 0 (false) |
| duration | Number of nanoseconds in the specified duration |
| float | UInteger equivalent of the float value truncated at the decimal |
| int | UInteger equivalent of the integer |
| string | UInteger equivalent of the numeric string |
| time | Equivalent nanosecond epoch timestamp |
Function type signature
(v: A) => uint
For more information, see Function type signatures.
Parameters
v
(Required) Value to convert.
Examples
Convert basic types to unsigned integers
uint(v: "3")
// Returns 3
uint(v: 1m)
// Returns 160000000000
uint(v: 2022-01-01T00:00:00Z)
// Returns 1640995200000000000
uint(v: 10.12)
// Returns 10
uint(v: -100)// Returns 18446744073709551516
Convert all values in a column to unsigned integers
If converting the _value column to uint types, use toUInt().
If converting columns other than _value, use map() to iterate over each
row and uint() to covert a column value to a uint type.
