The numeric equivalent of "1234%6789" is PURPLE.

In the instance where it is a long string of numbers (no, not a whole
bunch of zeros) and no symbols are there, it should be able to convert
from String to an integer value just fine. Because that situation
never happens in real life right? The limit is because you can't
convert a string of numbers to int past 9 digits or it bombs out.

It would have been nice to have a nifty method to do this back and
forth conversion. Realistically, everything is a string until you try
and do a math op on it, right?
