Any there any built-in functions that alllow you to convert between data types? Right now, I have strings that I want to compare as integers but the only way I can convert them right now is by adding 1 then subtracting 1. Although this works, it converts the variables to doubles which take up more memory which isn't that big of a deal except that there must be a way to convert variable types.
