The atoi() is predefined function used to convert a numeric string to its integer value.
Create a customized atoi()
The atoi() only converts a numeric string to integer value, so we need to check the validity of the string.
If this function encounters any non-numeric character in the given string, the conversion from string to integer will be stopped.
Example
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main(){ int value; char string1[] = "3567"; value = atoi(string1); printf("String value = %s\n", string1); printf("Integer value = %d\n", value); char string2[] = "TutorialsPoint"; value = atoi(string2); printf("String value = %s\n", string2); printf("Integer value = %d\n", value); return (0); }
Output
String value = 3567 Integer value = 3567 String value = TutorialsPoint Integer value = 0
