ee.Number.parse

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• Use ee.Number.parse(input, radix) to convert a string to an ee.Number.

• The input argument is the string to convert, and the optional radix argument specifies the base number system, defaulting to 10.

• Leading zeros are removed during the conversion process.

Convert a string to a number.

Usage	Returns
ee.Number.parse(input, radix)	Number

Argument	Type	Details
input	String	The string to convert to a number.
radix	Integer, default: 10	An integer representing the base number system from which to convert. If input is not an integer, radix must equal 10 or not be specified.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

print('Client-side string converted to ee.Number',
      ee.Number.parse('10'));  // 10

print('ee.String converted to ee.Number',
      ee.Number.parse(ee.String('100')));  // 100

print('Ambiguous string object converted to ee.Number',
      ee.Number.parse(ee.Feature(null, {id: '1000'}).get('id')));  // 1000

print('Ambiguous number object converted to ee.Number',
      ee.Number.parse(ee.Feature(null, {id: 1000}).get('id')));  // 1000

print('Leading zeros are removed',
      ee.Number.parse('0001'));  // 1

print('Radix 16',
      ee.Number.parse('3E8', 16)); // 1000

Python setup

Colab (Python)

print('Client-side string converted to ee.Number:',
      ee.Number.parse('10').getInfo())  # 10

print('ee.String converted to ee.Number:',
      ee.Number.parse(ee.String('100')).getInfo())  # 100

# 1000
print('Ambiguous string object converted to ee.Number:',
      ee.Number.parse(ee.Feature(None, {'id': '1000'}).get('id')).getInfo())

print('Leading zeros are removed:',
      ee.Number.parse('0001').getInfo())  # 1

print('Radix 16:', ee.Number.parse('3E8', 16).getInfo()) # 1000
