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:

Building up on Shavy Levy answer:

[bool]($var -as [int])

Because $null is evaluated to false (in bool), this statement Will give you true or false depending if the casting succeeds or not.
