Increment a numerical string
From Rosetta Code
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
This task is about incrementing a numerical string.
[edit] ActionScript
function incrementString(str:String):String
{
return String(Number(str)+1);
}
[edit] Ada
The standard Ada package Ada.Strings.Fixed provides a function for trimming blanks from a string.
S : String := "12345";
S := Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim(Source => Integer'Image(Integer'Value(S) + 1), Side => Ada.Strings.Both);
[edit] ALGOL 68
Works with: ALGOL 68 version Revision 1 - no extensions to language used
Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 1.18.0-9h.tiny
STRING s := "12345"; FILE f; INT i;
associate(f, s); get(f,i);
i+:=1;
s:=""; reset(f); put(f,i);
print((s, new line))
Output:
+12346
[edit] AutoHotkey
str = 12345
MsgBox % str += 1
Output:

[edit] AutoIt
Global $x = "12345"
$x += 1
MsgBox(0,"",$x)
Output:
12346
[edit] AWK
The example shows that the string s can be incremented, but after that still is a string of length 2.
$ gawk 'BEGIN{s="42";s++;print s"("length(s)")"}'

Since environment variables have no type distinction all numbers are simply numeric strings:

i = atoi(s);
/* The standard sprintf functions can convert integers to strings.

[edit] Forth
This word causes the number whose string value is stored at the given location to be incremented. The address passed must contain enough space to hold the string representation of the new number. Error handling is rudimentary, and consists of aborting when the string does not contain a numerical value.
The word ">string" takes and integer and returns the string representation of that integer. I factored it out of the definitions below to keep the example simpler.
: >string ( d -- addr n )
dup >r dabs <# #s r> sign #> ;
: inc-string ( addr -- )
dup count number? not abort" invalid number"
1 s>d d+ >string rot place ;
Here is a version that can increment by any value
: inc-string ( addr n -- )
over count number? not abort" invalid number"
rot s>d d+ >string rot place ;
Test the first version like this:
s" 123" pad place
pad inc-string
pad count type
And the second one like this:
s" 123" pad place
pad 1 inc-string
pad count type
[edit] Fortran
Works with: Fortran version 90 and later Using 'internal' files you can increment both integer and real strings
CHARACTER(10) :: intstr = "12345", realstr = "1234.5"
INTEGER :: i
REAL :: r
READ(intstr, "(I10)") i ! Read numeric string into integer i
i = i + 1 ! increment i
WRITE(intstr, "(I10)") i ! Write i back to string
READ(realstr, "(F10.1)") r
r = r + 1.0
WRITE(realstr, "(F10.1)") r

[edit] Icon and Unicon
Icon and Unicon will automatically coerce type conversions where they make sense. Where a conversion can't be made to a required type a run time error is produced.
[edit] Icon
s := "123" # s is a string
s +:= 1# s is now an integer
[edit] Unicon
This Icon solution works in Unicon.
[edit] IDL
str = '1234'
print, string(fix(str)+1)
;==> 1235
In fact, IDL tries to convert types cleverly. That works, too:
print, '1234' + 1
;==> 1235
[edit] J
incrTextNum=: >:&.".
Note that in addition to working for a single numeric value, this will increment multiple values provided within the same string, on a variety of number types and formats including rational and complex numbers.
incrTextNum '34.5'
35.5
incrTextNum '7 0.2 3r5 2j4 5.7e_4'
8 1.2 1.6 3j4 1.00057
[edit] Java
When using Integer.parseInt in other places, it may be beneficial to call trim on the String, since parseInt will throw an Exception if there are spaces in the String.
String s = "12345";
s = (Integer.parseInt(s) + 1) + "";
[edit] JavaScript
var s = "12345";
var i = parseInt(s, 10) + 1;
s = i.toString();
A faster way instead of parseInt:
var i = (+s)+1;
s = i.toString()

M4 can handle only integer signed 32 bit numbers, and they can be only written as strings
define(`V',`123')dnl
define(`VN',`-123')dnl

eval(VN+1)
If the expansion of any macro in the argument of eval gives something that can't be interpreted as an expression, an error is raised (but the interpretation of the whole file is not stopped)

[edit] PowerShell
The easiest way is to cast the string to int, incrementing it and casting back to string:
$s = "12345"
$t = [string] ([int] $s + 1)
One can also take advantage of the fact that PowerShell casts automatically according to the left-most operand to save one cast:
$t = [string] (1 + $s)

; Note the use of unusual characters in function name. Also note that
; because REBOL collects terms from right to left, I convert the
; string argument (s) to integer first, then add that result to one.
s++: func [s][to-string 1 + to-integer s]
; Examples. Because the 'print' word actually evaluates the block
; (it's effectively a 'reduce' that gets printed space separated),
; it's possible for me to assign the test string to 'x' and have it
; printed as a side effect. At the end, 'x' is available to submit to
; the 's++' function. I 'mold' the return value of s++ to make it
; obvious that it's still a string.
print [x: "-99" "plus one equals" mold s++ x]
print [x: "42" "plus one equals" mold s++ x]
print [x: "12345" "plus one equals" mold s++ x]
Output:
-99 plus one equals "-98" 42 plus one equals "43" 12345 plus one equals "12346"
[edit] Ruby
If a string represents a number, the succ method will increment the number:
'1234'.succ #=> '1235'
'99'.succ #=> '100'
[edit] Scala
The string needs to be converted to a numeric type. BigDecimal should
handle most numeric strings. We define a method to do it.
implicit def toSucc(s: String) = new { def succ = BigDecimal(s) + 1 toString }
Usage:
scala> "123".succ res5: String = 124
