Parse string to BigInt with radix? #12

Closed sffc closed 3 years ago

sffc commented 3 years ago

Current APIs:

parseInt() parses strings to Number with an arbitrary radix.
Number.prototype.toString() prints a Number to a string with an arbitrary radix.
BigInt.prototype.toString() prints a BigInt to a string with an arbitrary radix.

However, I cannot find a built-in function to parse a string to a BigInt with an arbitrary radix. Stack Overflow seems to agree.

Worth including in this proposal?

(Follow-up to #5)

Yes, I think that would probably be out of scope of this particular proposal, and best left to @mathiasbynens’s proposal (I want that proposal a lot!), but thank you for raising it.
