Documentation does not indicate that int() will perform correctly on a String variable, which it does.

change the following

can I do this?

So, I don't understand the process or etiquette involved here. As far as I am concerned, if you have the rights and authority to make the change it would be good. Thank you

@khan-rehan -- go ahead and create a PR referencing this issue and @prisonerjohn or @REAS will merge it (at least, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't in this case!). Be sure to make your PR editable.

Also, be patient, please -- PRs on docs are reviewed and merged in batches, so they may be handled immediately or they may take a month or two. My last few docs PRs averaged about six weeks.

Thank you. I've updated this. It will be online soon.
