Hi, I want to convert from Nat to Int. How do I do this?

I assume you are asking about Motoko.

Nat is a subtype of Int, so you don’t even have to explicitly convert – you can just use any value or expression of type Nat in places where an Int is expected.

In motoko, How to convert Int to Nat ?
For example

    let currentTime : Int = Time.now();
    As the currentTime  return Int type and we can assign the time to Nat variable or convert Int to Nat

You can use Int.abs() from the base library.
