int()

num(str)

Convert string to number. Returns nil if str is nil, empty string, string with no number.

streq()

cmp()

substr()

chr()

contains()

typeof()

ghosttype(ghost)

Returns a string containing either a descriptive name as passed to naNewGhost or naNewGhost2 in C/C++ while creating the ghost or a unique id (aka the pointer to the C/C++ naGhostType instance) if no name has been set.

Trigonometric_functions

Caution: All trigonometric functions works with Radian-values - not with Degree!

To convert this:
radians = degree * math.pi / 180
degree = radians * 180 / math.pi

sin()

tan()

asin()

acos()

atan2()

exp()

ln()

sqrt()

floor()

ceil()

fmod()

A modulo-operator, mod(x,y) also works...
The modulo-operation finds the remainder of division of one number by another (sometimes called modulus).
