class int(x, base=10)

Returns test

x	??
base	optional

REMARKS

* No prefix required - Core
* Return an integer object constructed from a number or string x, or return 0 if no arguments are given. If x defines __int__(), int(x) returns x.__int__(). If x defines __index__(), it returns x.__index__(). If x defines __trunc__(), it returns x.__trunc__(). For floating point numbers, this truncates towards zero.
* If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string, bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer in radix base. Optionally, the string can be preceded by + or - (with no space in between), have leading zeros, be surrounded by whitespace, and have single underscores interspersed between digits.
* A base-n integer string contains digits, each representing a value from 0 to n-1. The values 0-9 can be represented by any Unicode decimal digit. The values 10-35 can be represented by a to z (or A to Z). The default base is 10. The allowed bases are 0 and 2-36. Base-2, -8, and -16 strings can be optionally prefixed with 0b/0B, 0o/0O, or 0x/0X, as with integer literals in code. For base 0, the string is interpreted in a similar way to an integer literal in code, in that the actual base is 2, 8, 10, or 16 as determined by the prefix. Base 0 also disallows leading zeros: int('010', 0) is not legal, while int('010') and int('010', 8) are.
* The integer type is described in Numeric Types � int, float, complex.
