.. function:: int([x[, radix]])
Convert a string or number to a plain integer. If the argument is a string, it
must contain a possibly signed decimal number representable as a Python integer,
possibly embedded in whitespace. The *radix* parameter gives the base for the
conversion and may be any integer in the range [2, 36], or zero. If *radix* is
zero, the proper radix is guessed based on the contents of string; the
interpretation is the same as for integer literals. If *radix* is specified and
*x* is not a string, :exc:`TypeError` is raised. Otherwise, the argument may be
a plain or long integer or a floating point number. Conversion of floating
point numbers to integers truncates (towards zero). If the argument is outside
the integer range a long object will be returned instead. If no arguments are
given, returns ``0``.
Convert a string or number to a plain integer. If the argument is a string,
it must contain a possibly signed decimal number representable as a Python
integer, possibly embedded in whitespace. The *radix* parameter gives the
base for the conversion (which is 10 by default) and may be any integer in
the range [2, 36], or zero. If *radix* is zero, the proper radix is guessed
based on the contents of string; the interpretation is the same as for
integer literals. If *radix* is specified and *x* is not a string,
:exc:`TypeError` is raised. Otherwise, the argument may be a plain or long
integer or a floating point number. Conversion of floating point numbers to
integers truncates (towards zero). If the argument is outside the integer
range a long object will be returned instead. If no arguments are given,
returns ``0``.
The integer type is described in :ref:`typesnumeric`.
