Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

String to Int
Example:
string $mystring = "15";
int $myint = ($mystring - 1);
print $myint;
Maya doesn't execute this script because $mystring doesn't really have a int value. In BASIC I think this concept would be written as:
Dim mystring As string = "15"
Dim myint As integer = (val(mystring) - 1)
MsgBox(myint)
The VAL function works in BASIC but it won't work in MEL. Of course it doesn't seem like MEL hasa VAL function but is there an alternative?
I hope you didn't waste your time reading this line.

you can cast a string like this:
string $strVal = "150000";
int $intVal = (int)$strVal;
float $floatVal = (float)$strVal;
and you can go the other way too:
int $intVal = 1545;
string $strVal = (string)$intVal;
