std::atoi, std::atol, std::atoll

int       atoi( const char *str );

long      atol( const char *str );

long long atoll( const char *str );

Interprets an integer value in a byte string pointed to by str.

Discards any whitespace characters until the first non-whitespace character is found, then takes as many characters as possible to form a valid integer number representation and converts them to an integer value. The valid integer value consists of the following parts:

• (optional) plus or minus sign
• numeric digits

Parameters

Return value

Integer value corresponding to the contents of str on success.

If no conversion can be performed, ​0​ is returned.

If the value of the result cannot be represented, i.e. the converted value falls out of range of the corresponding return type, behavior is undefined.

Example

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
 
int main()
{
    const auto data = { 
        "42",
        "3.14159",
        "31337 with words",
        "words and 2",
        "-012345",
        "10000000000"
    };
 
    for (const char* s : data) {
        const int i {std::atoi(s)};
        std::cout << "std::atoi('" << s << "') is " << i << '\n';
        if (const long long ll {std::atoll(s)}; i != ll) {
            std::cout << "std::atoll('" << s << "') is " << ll << '\n';
        }
    }
}

std::atoi('42') is 42
std::atoi('3.14159') is 3
std::atoi('31337 with words') is 31337
std::atoi('words and 2') is 0
std::atoi('-012345') is -12345
std::atoi('10000000000') is 1410065408
std::atoll('10000000000') is 10000000000
