Function; tonumber - HWRM/KarosGraveyard GitHub Wiki
tonumber(<Element> [, <iBase>])
(from LUA 4 Manual: 6.1 Basic Functions)
"Tries to convert its argument to a number. If the argument is already a number or a string convertible to a number, then tonumber returns that number; otherwise, it returns nil.
An optional argument specifies the base to interpret the numeral. The base may be any integer between 2 and 36, inclusive. In bases above 10, the letter A (either upper or lower case) represents 10, B represents 11, and so forth, with Z representing 35. In base 10 (the default), the number may have a decimal part, as well as an optional exponent part (see Section 4.2). In other bases, only unsigned integers are accepted."
<Element>: a number or a string convertible to a number.
