Hi all,
I am trying to find the numerical value of a string that stores a two
digit number. I have found the numerical value of a char as:
char character;
cin >character;
int number = character - 48; // Computing the numberical value of
character entered
cout << "The number you entered is: " << number << endl << endl;
How do I do the same and find the numerical value of a string storing 2
digits? I know a way to do this using character arrays:
for ( ; *str != '\0' ; str++)
num = (num * 10) + (*str - 48);
But, I am not supposed to use if statements, character arrays,
apstrings, or atoi in this program.
I am stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Before c.l.c++ I had never seen a group whose FAQs were quite so FA, if you see
what I mean... This one seems to come up every 2 days, along with "I need to
write a dynamic array". I actually discovered the group through the FAQ, which
is still pretty much my first point of reference when something won't work.

But, I am not supposed to use if statements, character arrays,
apstrings, or atoi in this program. That's why I can't hit on any other
way to do this.

The result of this is implementation-defined. A portable version would be:
int number = character - '0';
You should also add some error handling.
cout << "The number you entered is: " << number << endl << endl;

I have no idea what "apstrings" are, but you could use a stringstream, like:
char character;
std::stringstre am stream;
std::cin >character;
stream << character;
std::cin >character;
stream << character;
int number;
stream >number;

apstrings? Is this the thing that was written a few years ago for the
AP comp sci test? Not part of standard C++.

Let's consider the word string. If in fact you're supposed to do this,
then perhaps you are supposed to use the std::string class? If not,
then perhaps the problem is misleadingly worded?
Have you looked into std::istringstr eam?
>>>>that stores a two digit number. I have found the numerical value of a char as:

Might
const int number = character - '0';
be better?
Shouldn't you check to see if the number is a digit before you do that?
>>>character entered cout << "The number you entered is: " << number << endl << endl;
>>>How do I do the same and find the numerical value of a string storing 2 digits? I know a way to do this using character arrays: for ( ; *str != '\0' ; str++) num = (num * 10) + (*str - 48);
Where I assume that you had something like:
char str[BIGENOUGH];
How did you plan on putting decimal digits into str?
>>>But, I am not supposed to use if statements, character arrays, apstrings, or atoi in this program.
Why not?

apstrings were part of some classes that the Computer Science AP test
used up until they switched the programming tasks to Java around 2003.
They ap* classes were horrendous and not intended to be used other
than for teaching purposes for the test.

Do you have a list of things you _are_ supposed to use, or has your instructor got his head [censored]? How about strtol(), sscanf()
or std::istringstr eam?
int a(char *c, int v) {
return *c?a(c+1,v*10+( *c-'0')):v;
}
int main(int ac, char** av)
{
for(int ax=1; ax<ac; ++ax)
cout << a(av[ax],0) << '\n';

I think you can use the boost::lexical_ cast
std::string ch ;
cin >ch ;
int number = boost::lexical_ cast<int>(ch) ;
It is just simple ! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm trying to build a function that reads each character in a string
and converts it to an ASCII numerical value. So far, so good.
However, I'm running into problems when dealing with quotation marks.
Using ASC(""") dosen't work, neither does ASC('"') or just ASC(").
Is there any other way to handle this? Is this the only character I'll
have this problem with, so should I just error trap it?
Thanks!

Folks,
I need to try and make sure that a given string is a valid numerical
value (not just int, or int32 - it could be float, decimal, what have
you). VB.NET has a neat "IsNumeric" function - too bad C# doesn't have
anything similar. Or does it??
I was thinking about trying to convert the string to Int32, but as I
mentioned - that alone won't be good enough, and I really don't want
to attempt a dozen conversions to find out - nor do...

Hi,
I've made a program from numerical recipes. Looks like I'm not allowed
to distribute the source code from numerical recipes but it shouldn't
even be necessary to do that.
My problem is that I'm not very experienced with pointers, pointers to
pointers and the like and I got 4 compiler warnings + I don't completely
understand how to build this "compact matrix" (see later).

How do you extract a numerical value from a text box? I have a number of

am just missing it.

i need a fast way to do lots of conversion that between
string and numerical value(integer, float, double...), and
boost::lexical_cast is useless, because it runs for a long time,
(about 60 times slower than corresponding C functions)
it's too expensive for my program.
is there any way( library?) to do this fast and safely,
