Coffeescript: how do I convert a string to a number?

Use the javascript parseInt function.

number = parseInt( stringToParse, 10 );

Reference is here.

Remember, coffeescript is just javascript after it's compiled

You can use the less obvious, more magical, less keyboard-intensive operator +:

+"158"

Javascript's parseInt function will achieve this. Remember to set the radix parameter to prevent confusion and ensure predictable behaviour. (E.g. in Coffeescript)

myNewInt = parseInt("176.67", 10)

There's a few good examples in the MDN resources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt
