Example:

(0).to_bool();        // false
(5).to_bool();        // true

Converts a number to a signed 32-bit integer value.

Example:

(12.7).to_int();

Example:

(255).to_uint();

Example:

(127).to_s8();

Converts a number to an unsigned 8-bit integer value.

Example:

(255).to_u8();

Converts a number to a signed 16-bit integer value.

Example:

(32000).to_s16();

Converts a number to an unsigned 16-bit integer value.

Example:

(65535).to_u16();

Converts the low byte of a number to a repeated character string.

Returns: string.

Example:

(45).chr(5);          // '-----'

Reads one bit from an integer-like number.
