$toInt

New from version 4.0

The $toInt operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to convert an input value to an integer data type. This operator is useful when you need to ensure that a field or expression is represented as an integer, which can be important for certain operations or data processing tasks.

Parameters

  • expression: The expression to be converted to an integer.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates how to use the $toInt operator to convert a string value to an integer.

Create sample documents

db.numbers.insertMany([
  { "name": "one", "value": "1" },
  { "name": "hundred", "value": "100" }
]);

Query example

db.numbers.aggregate([
  { $project: {
    "_id": 0,
    "name": 1,
    "intValue": { $toInt: "$value" }
  }}
]);

Output

{ "name": "one", "intValue": 1 }
{ "name": "hundred", "intValue": 100 }
