ToUint16() Method

---

This function converts its parameter to an integer in the range of 0 through 2¹⁶ -1.

Syntax

ToUint16(value)

Parameter	Description
value	The value to be converted

Returns

If the result is NaN, +0. If the result is +0 , 0. If the result is POSITIVE_INFINITY, it returns Infinity. Otherwise, it returns the unsigned (that is, absolute value of) integer part of the number, rounded toward 0.

Usage

This function converts value to an integer in the range of 0 to 2¹⁶ - 1 (65,535). To use it without error, first pass value to isNaN() or to ToNumber().

To use toNumber(), use a statement of the form

var x;i
x = toNumber(value);
(if x == 'NaN')
.
.   [error -handling statements];
.
else
   ToUint16(value);

Because ToUint16() truncates rather than rounds the value it is given, numbers are rounded toward 0. Therefore, 12.88 becomes 12.

CAUTION:  The ToUint16() function is unique to Siebel eScript. Avoid using it in a script that may be used with a JavaScript interpreter that does not support it.
