toInt
This function is used by Ignition's Expression language.
Description​
Tries to coerce value into an integer (32-bit integer). If value is a number, the conversion is direct (with possible loss of precision). If value is a string, it is parsed to see if it represents an integer. If not, type casting fails. Will round if appropriate.
