Pull Request Description

Title: feature/add-int-operations

Motivation and Improvement

This pull request introduces a new utility function, ToInt, for converting various types to an integer with a fallback option. The primary motivation behind this change is to streamline and simplify the conversion process of different numeric types and other types to an integer. This enhancement is particularly useful for handling scenarios where input types might vary, providing a consistent and reliable method to obtain an integer value.

Changes Made

1. New Function in pkg/int/operations.go:

   • Function: ToInt(value any, fallback int) int
   • Purpose: Converts the given value to an integer. If the conversion is not possible, it returns the provided fallback value.
   • Supported Conversions:
     • int
     • int32
     • int64
     • float32 (truncated to int)
     • float64 (truncated to int)
     • Default case returns the fallback value

2. Unit Tests in pkg/int/operations_test.go:

   • Added a comprehensive set of tests to cover various scenarios and types that ToInt should handle.
   • Test cases include:
     • Direct integer values
     • Integer types with different bit sizes (int32, int64)
     • Floating-point numbers (float32, float64) ensuring truncation
     • Non-numeric types (e.g., string, bool, nil) to test fallback behavior

Benefits

• Consistency: Provides a standardized way to convert various types to an integer, reducing the need for repetitive type-checking and conversion code throughout the project.
• Reliability: By including a fallback mechanism, the function ensures that a valid integer is always returned, even when the input type is unsupported.
• Maintainability: Simplifies code maintenance and readability by encapsulating conversion logic in a single utility function.

This addition enhances the robustness and flexibility of the project by addressing potential type handling issues in a clean and efficient manner.
