Function that parses number embedded in strings - JavaScript
Conventionally, we have functions like parseInt() and parseFloat() that takes in a string and converts the number string to Number. But these methods fail when we have numbers embedded at random index inside the string.
For example: The following would only return 454, but what we want is 4545453 −
parseInt('454ffdg54hg53')
So, we are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in such string and returns the corresponding number.
Example
Following is the code −
const numStr = '454ffdg54hg53';
const parseInteger = numStr => {
let res = 0;
for(let i = 0; i < numStr.length; i++){
if(!+numStr[i]){
continue;
};
res = (res * 10) + (+numStr[i]);
};
return res;
};
console.log(parseInteger(numStr));
Output
Following is the output in the console −
4545453
