S2I(SEXP,IEXP) (INTEGER)

 Function
  Convert a string in a specified number base to an integer.

 Syntax
  S2I(str,base)

   str  = Any string expression to convert to integer format.
   base = An integer expression with the number base (2 through 36) to
          convert from.

 Return Type & Value
  INTEGER
  Returns str converted from the specified number base to an integer.

 Remarks
  People work with decimal (base 10) numbers, whereas computers work with
  binary (base 2) numbers.  It is often more convienient to store or input
  numbers in a format other than decimal for clarity, compactness, or
  other reasons.  This function will convert a string in any number base
  from 2 to 36 to a number.  So, S2I("1010",2) would return a 10; S2I("Z",36)
  would return 35.  For more information on number bases, consult .

 Examples
  INTEGER i
  STRING  s
  INPUTTEXT "Enter a string (any base)",s,@X0E,40
  FOR i = 2 TO 36
    PRINTLN s," = ",S2I(s,i)," base ",i
