JSLint says "missing radix parameter"

It always a good practice to pass radix with parseInt -

parseInt(string, radix)

For decimal -

parseInt(id.substring(id.length - 1), 10)

If the radix parameter is omitted, JavaScript assumes the following:

  • If the string begins with "0x", the radix is 16 (hexadecimal)
  • If the string begins with "0", the radix is 8 (octal). This feature is deprecated
  • If the string begins with any other value, the radix is 10 (decimal)

(Reference)


To avoid this warning, instead of using:

parseInt("999", 10);

You may replace it by:

Number("999");


Note that parseInt and Number have different behaviors, but in some cases, one can replace the other.


I'm not properly answering the question but, I think it makes sense to clear why we should specify the radix.

On MDN documentation we can read that:

If radix is undefined or 0 (or absent), JavaScript assumes the following:

  • [...]
  • If the input string begins with "0", radix is eight (octal) or 10 (decimal). Exactly which radix is chosen is implementation-dependent. ECMAScript 5 specifies that 10 (decimal) is used, but not all browsers support this yet. For this reason always specify a radix when using parseInt.
  • [...]

You can turn off this rule if you wish to skip that test.

Insert:

radix: false

Under the "rules" property in the tslint.json file.

It's not recommended to do that if you don't understand this exception.
