The class Number is an abstract class that is used to organize the numeric classes in the VISION hierarchy. Each different kind of numerical value is represented by one of three specializations of the class Number: Double, Float, or Integer. Most numbers are either Integer (no decimal value) or Double (decimal value). The Float class is used for efficiency in storing numbers in large databases that are known not to require the extra precision and space associated with double precision numbers.

convertFrom:

Synopsis:
Number convertFrom: string

Description:
This message converts the supplied string to an instance of the recipient's class if applicable, returning NA otherwise. The definition at Object will lookup the string in the class' naming dictionary, if defined. The version at String returns the recipient stripped of any extensions. The versions at Number, Integer, Double, and Float convert the recipient to a numeric value if possible. The version at Date converts the recipient to a Date using the 'asDate' message defined at String. The version at Boolean returns TRUE if the recipient contains an upper/lower case combination of 'true' and FALSE if the recipient contains an upper/lower case combination of 'false'. The version at block returns a block containing the string as a message. This message is called by the 'as:' message at String.
