C++ How do I turn the length of a string to an integer

So, if I have a string x, and x.length returns the count of characters in it,

how do I turn the return of string.length into an int?

I looked for duplicate questions but I don't think there are.

Thanks

The cast has already pointed out. Now, let me advise against using it, at least as a rule.

There's a reason it returns an unsigned integer type (among other things, because it might overflow what a signed integer can hold). You normally want to keep it as an unsigned type instead of converting it to int.
