Description
parseInt() returns the first valid (long) integer number from the current position. Initial characters that are not integers (or the minus sign) are skipped.
In particular:
-
Initial characters that are not digits or a minus sign, are skipped;
-
Parsing stops when no characters have been read for a configurable time-out value, or a non-digit is read;
-
If no valid digits were read when the time-out (see Stream.setTimeout()) occurs, 0 is returned;
This function is part of the Stream class, and is called by any class that inherits from it (Wire, Serial, etc). See the Stream class main page for more information.
