Date: 2019may27 Language: javaScript Q. javaScript: compact way to convert a string to an integer A. You can use parseInt()

const parsed = parseInt(x, base); const parsed = parseInt('123', 10);

Or unary +

const n = + '123';

Its more compact but not as clear to readers. Probably best used by minifiers. In my tests, unary + assume base 10.
