Double.Parse question

rgb

Hi Garry,
Double.Parse doesn't support hexa or binary number ?

Like:
var x as double = Double.Parse("&hFF") or ("#FF")

Garry

Correct, Double.Parse() doesn’t parse hexadecimal or binary strings. It’s intended for decimal/scientific floating-point text, including locale-aware parsing.

For Objo source literals, use Objo’s formats:

Var x As Double = 0xFF     # 255
Var y As Integer = 0b1010  # 10

For runtime strings, I’ve added new helpers for the next release:

https://feedback.objo.dev/feature/308

Var x As Integer = Integer.FromHex("0xFF")        # 255
Var y As Integer = Integer.FromBinary("0b1010")   # 10

Var d As Double = Integer.FromHex("0xFF")         # 255, widened to Double

These use Objo-formatted string literals, so 0x/0X for hex and 0b/0B for binary.
