Question

How would you implement

int atoi ( const char * str );

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I parsed the string from left to right, multiplying the temp int by 10 for each char traversed.

You need to subtract the ascii value of zero to get the integer value of the char before multiplying by 10.

#include 
#include 

unsigned int my_atoi(const char* str) {
  int num = 0;
  while (*str) {
	num *= 10;
    num += (*str++ - '0');
  }
  return num;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	printf("atoi(%s)=%d
",argv[1], my_atoi(argv[1]) );
	return 0;
}
