Reading and writing using MFRC522 RFID

Hello and good day!

I am trying to use an RC522 RFID module for a simple attendance log thing.

I want to make it so that the program will read a card for it's ID and the data, which for this project is the balance of the user.

I am having trouble understanding how to read data from the PICC or the RFID card/tag, for example in block 2, and have it be an integer and stored into a variable for later use.

I plan to use the function readBlock() which I found here and I wonder if just simply writing in

int number = readBlock(block, blockContent);

would work.

However I do believe that readBlock() returns it as bytes and I do not know how to turn that into one integer.

Any and all help will be much appreciated!

EDIT: I have all of it figured out, I was feeling a little hopeless so I thought I'd turn to more knowledgeable people but ended up understanding it...No need to help.
