Convert Char Array to an integer in C++ – thisPointer
This tutorial will discuss about a unique way to convert char array to an integer.
In C++, the string.h
header file provides a function stoi()
. It accepts a character pointer as an argument, and interprets its contents as an integer value. It returns an int value. We can use this function to convert a char array to integer.
If the given string can not be converted into an integer value or its out of range, then it will raise an exception i.e. either invalid_argument
or out_of_range
exception. Therefore, while using the stoi()
function for converting a char array to int, we need to make sure that we catch all the exceptions.
Let’s see the complete example,
#include <iostream> #include <string.h> // Returns true, string is successfully conveted // to integer bool ConverToInt(const char* arr, int& value ) { bool result = false; try { // convert char array to string value = std::stoi( arr); result = true; } catch( const std::exception& ) {} return result; } int main() { char arr[10] = "234"; int value = 9; // Convert char array to integer if(ConverToInt(arr, value) ) { std::cout<<"Integer Value is : " << value << std::endl; } else { std::cout<<"Char Array can not be converted to an integer \n"; } return 0; }

Output :
Integer Value is : 234
