Convert string to int

[tmoses]

Hi im a student and was wondering if their is a clean way to do a string to int conversion. I know how to take a char and put it into its ascii int value but i was wondering if their was any function in the ansi standard that would do this. I have used sprintf for int to string but could not seem to find one for the other way round. any help would be appreciated <br>
<br>
thanks<br>

int atoi(char *string)is an ANSI standard subroutine, also<br>
long atol(char *string).<br>
<br>
Mix Software in Dallas (800)333-0330 used to sell a decent ANSI C compiler for $19.95. It isn't production quality and only runs on MS-DOS, but it works. The book alone is worth the price because it has complete documentation on C and all C functions, including some non-ANSI. There was a tutorial for $29.95 called Workout C, which includes the book, the compiler and the tutorial. I think Workout C also included the debugger. I bought mine in 1989 and almost wore the book out (its a paperback), so bought another.

There is a function atoi() which takes a string as a parameter and returns integer value. itoa() functions does the other way round. Was that your question ?<br>
Thanx<br>
