Usage

using Alyio.Extensions;

// String to number conversion - returns null if conversion fails
string validNumber = "123";
int? convertedNumber = validNumber.ToInt32(); // Returns 123

string invalidNumber = "abc";
int? failedNumber = invalidNumber.ToInt32(); // Returns null because "abc" cannot be converted to int

// Object conversion - returns null if conversion fails
object validValue = "42";
int? validResult = validValue.ToInt32(); // Returns 42

object invalidValue = "not a number";
int? invalidResult = invalidValue.ToInt32(); // Returns null because "not a number" cannot be converted to int

// DateTime parsing - returns null if parsing fails
string validDate = "2024-03-20";
DateTime? validDateTime = validDate.ToDateTime(); // Returns DateTime object

string invalidDate = "not a date";
DateTime? invalidDateTime = invalidDate.ToDateTime(); // Returns null because "not a date" cannot be parsed

// Handling conversion results
string? input = "123";
int result = input.ToInt32() ?? -1; // Returns 123 if conversion succeeds, -1 if it fails
