In Powershell what is the idiomatic way of converting a string to an int?

Question

The only method I have found is a direct cast:

> $numberAsString = \"10\"
> [int]$numberAsString
10

Is this the standard approach in

Answer 1

I'd probably do something like that :

[int]::Parse("35")

But I'm not really a Powershell guy. It uses the static Parse method from System.Int32. It should throw an exception if the string can't be parsed.
