Integer(p1) public

Converts arg to a Fixnum or Bignum. Numeric types are converted directly (with floating point numbers being truncated). If arg is a String, leading radix indicators (0, 0b, and 0x) are honored. Others are converted using to_int and to_i. This behavior is different from that of String#to_i.

   Integer(123.999)    #=> 123
   Integer("0x1a")     #=> 26
   Integer(Time.new)   #=> 1049896590
