Question

I have a function that converts an object into nullable int:

public int? ToInt(object x) { ... }

Now I need another function that would return 0 instead of null if conversion is not possible:

public int ToIntSomeOtherName(object x) { ... }

What would be a good name for that other function ?
I know this seems trivial, but I’ll be using these functions in many places and
a good naming convention would be a big plus.

I think ToInt is better for your second method:

public int ToInt(object x) { ... }

And you can rename the first one:

public int? ToIntOrNull(object x) { ... }
