How to convert a string to a number in Unity?

Question

Unity

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI; // для работы с UI
using UnityEngine;

public class button : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int      mega_number = 0;
    public GameObject guiTextLink; //Ссылка на объект, если скрипт не на нем
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start(){
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update(){
        mega_number++;
        print(mega_number);
        guiTextLink.GetComponent<Text>().text = mega_number;
    }
}

Good afternoon, the unit swears at this line: guiTextLink.GetComponent().text = mega_number;

How can I make this line expect a number and not a string?

Answer 1

mega_number.ToString()
