char int string ,the different? and string 2 double convent problem.

[key9]

Hi all

on reading code I found these function

int foo(int char);
char foo(char ch_);

string foo(string ch);
I know the different between char and the string

char[]: 'this is char\0'
string: 'this is string'
What about int?
Also
How to corvent string to double, for example

string: 12.0317 to double

an "safe" conversion should first confirm the '12.0317' is double
using regexp? that's too big.
or buy scan the string using isdigital()?

and what about 002.0317?
thank you

Well, almost. If the idea is that a char /array/ is zero-terminated,
then you have it almost right. It's not necessarily zero-terminated (in
fact there are zillions of string formats), but the most common format,
and the one you get for a literal string constant such as "uhuh", is
zero-terminated.

Example (off the cuff):

#include <cstdio // strlen
#include <iostream // cout
#include <ostream // <<, endl
#include <string // string

int main()
{
using namespace std;

char const s[] = "uhuh";
string const t = s; // Copy, in std::string format.

cout << sizeof( s ) << endl; // 5, not 4.
cout << strlen( s ) << endl // 4.
cout << t.length() << endl; // 4.
}

What about int?

It's an integer type. You can do integer arithmetic.

Install the Boost library.

Assuming you mean std::string, that should *probably* be:

string foo( const string& ch);

No, that's a character array. A char like the parameter to foo() is a
single character.

string: 'this is string'
What about int?

An int is a number, a primitive data type in C++. What more do you want
to know?

Your real question is probably related to function overloading.

foo( 1 ); // Calls foo(int)
foo( '1' ); // Calls foo(char)
foo( "1" ); // Calls foo(string)
