Interlude.Result.GetInteger
In Depth¶
Result.GetInteger(result, key, fallback: 0)
A field's answer as a whole number.
A fractional answer is rounded rather than truncated, so 2.6 becomes 3. Use this for anything that indexes or counts, where a number carrying a hidden .0 causes trouble downstream.
The inputs are:
result(object) — The values dictionary or the form output of Form.Show.key(string) — The field to read.fallback(integer, defaults to0) — Returned when the field is missing or is not a number.
Returns value — The answer as a whole number.
Search terms: integer, int, whole, count, get, read.
About the Result nodes¶
Reading a form's answers.
Every node here accepts either the values dictionary or the form output of Form.Show, so it does not matter which one is to hand. They exist so a graph can say what it expects — a number, a date, a colour — rather than pulling an object out of a dictionary and hoping. Each one takes a fallback used when the field is missing or empty, which is what keeps a downstream node from receiving a null it was not expecting.
