yes i was using that function before i made this post, it seemed to work but then i changed the varaiable and it seems to be saying every number is 0
The methods:
1) From the C standard library, using atoi:
2) From the C++ standard library, using strstream:
3) From the Boost library, using lexical_cast:
Out of the three I prefer the last one, as it makes the most sense to myself, and I like exceptions :). See http://boost.org/index.htm for information about the boost library. One can of course use "using namespace std;" and "using namespace boost;" to remove the std:: and boost:: prefixes in all the examples.
1) From the C standard library, using atoi:
#include <cstdlib>#include <string>std::string text = "152";int number = std::atoi( text.c_str() );if (errno == ERANGE) //that may be std::errno{ //the number was too big/small to store completely, number is either LONG_MAX or LONG_MIN}else if (errno == ????)//maybe EINVAL? not sure, man page dosn't seem to say...//other possibilities are E2BIG and EDOM (or ERANGE maybe again)...//but I'd vote for EINVAL{ //unable to convert to a number}2) From the C++ standard library, using strstream:
#include <sstream>#include <string>std::string text = "152";int number;std::istringstream ss( text );ss >> number;if (! ss.good()){ //something happened}3) From the Boost library, using lexical_cast:
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>#include <string>try{ std::string text = "152"; int number = boost::lexical_cast< int >( text );}catch( const boost::bad_lexical_cast & ){ //unable to convert}Out of the three I prefer the last one, as it makes the most sense to myself, and I like exceptions :).
