Mistype in the documentation

[Guillermo]

Hi, I don't know where to send it, so I'm posting it here.

In this page, https://docs.mql4.com/convert/stringtointeger

The explanation says:  "into number of int (integer) type." and the return value is supposed to be long.

And on a personal note, I think those functions are bugged...

Do you want function string toLong?

No hahaha, I just noticed it when taking a look at those.

I will soon open a post with a problem I'm having when using the functions StrToDouble/StringToDouble, because I'm having such a weird issue with those...

1. This is a user's forum not Metaquotes.
   • Can someone please advise where I send a Request for Support to Metaquotes. - MQL4 forum
   • Get in touch with developers using Service Desk! - MQL5 forum
   • Report it to the service desk. 'MQL5.community - User Memo' - an article about the algorithmic/automated trading in MetaTrader
   • Report it to the Service Desk, not us users.

3. I agree it was misnamed; in my standard include, I wrote:	/// What `StringToInteger()` actually returns. #define StringToLong(text) StringToInteger(text)
   Then I only use the define and then the cast makes sense:	int value = (int) StringToLong(text);

4. "functions are bugged" "Doesn't work" is meaningless - just like saying the car doesn't work. Doesn't start, won't go in gear, no electrical, missing the key, flat tires - meaningless. There are no mind readers here.
5. "having such a weird issue" Same thing. Print the argument and the return value and find out why.

StrToDouble/StringToDouble - unfortunately those "identical" pairs may behave differently, as I painfully learnt with StringSetChar/StringSetCharacter.
