convert array of numbers that are strings into array of numbers

Question

ids_nn
["50348", "18646", "17963", "18184", "30703", "18016", "23225"]

How do I make it:

[50348, 18646, 17963, 18184, 30703, 18016, 23225]

I read these two SO posts:

How to convert all elements in an array to integer in JavaScript?

convert string into array of integers

So, I tried:

var bla = ids_nn.map(function (x) { return parseInt(x, 10})
VM4765:2 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }message: "Unexpected token }"stack: (...)get stack: function () { [native code] }set stack: function () { [native code] }__proto__: ErrorVM3550:847 InjectedScript._evaluateOnVM3550:780 InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrapVM3550:646 InjectedScript.evaluate

and

var bla = ids_nn.split(',').map(Number)
VM4648:2 Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

Your first try just has a missing ) for the parseInt method. Other than that its just fine. — Jamiec

What's unclear about "VM4765:2 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }"? — amiuhle

You can do

var arrayOfNumbers = arrayOfStrings.map(Number);

MDN Array.prototype.map

For older browsers which do not support Array.map, you can use Underscore

var arrayOfNumbers = _.map(arrayOfStrings, Number);

Change it into

var bla = ids_nn.map(function (x) { return parseInt(x, 10)})
VM4765:2 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token }message: "Unexpected token }"stack: (...)get stack: function () { [native code] }set stack: function () { [native code] }__proto__: ErrorVM3550:847 InjectedScript._evaluateOnVM3550:780 InjectedScript._evaluateAndWrapVM3550:646 InjectedScript.evaluate

var bla = ids_nn.map(function (x) { return parseInt(x, 10})

so close - here's what you should've done

var bla = ids_nn.map(function (x) { return parseInt(x, 10)})

one ) missing

This works for me

var bla = ids_nn.map(function (x) { return parseInt(x) });

You had a mistake with the } and ), but anyway you don't need to pass the base

Thanks, am reading the documentation just now. Don;t get it, why don;t I need to specify decimal with 10?

Manjar Over a year ago

If the radix parameter is omitted, JavaScript assumes the following: In the parseInt documentation of w3schools I see: If the string begins with "0x", the radix is 16 (hexadecimal) If the string begins with "0", the radix is 8 (octal). This feature is deprecated If the string begins with any other value, the radix is 10 (decimal) w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_parseint.asp

Manjar Over a year ago

So you only had to specify base if your number starts with 0x prefix like "0x123A" which means you wanted it in hexadecimal
