equivalent to ATOI in ADA

equivalent to ATOI in ADA

[wurm]

Hi all,

Id like to know if there is an equivalent to ATOI already built into ADA
somewhere, I realize that i could simply import it from C but id prefer not
to do that if i dont have to

Thanx!

Phil

Look at the attributes 'Value and 'Image.

Integer'Value

I highly suggest you look through Appendex K of the LRM
(http://www.ada-auth.org/~acats/arm-html/RM-K.html). There are lots of goodies
in there. While you are at it, have a look through Annex A too.

Thanx for the reply, i had looked through there but must of missed it

funny thing was, i decided to not be lazy and wrote my own 3 line algorithm
to do the conversion, and finished it as soon as i saw your message :)

A : Integer;

A := Integer'Value("Integer_Number");

You would use the Integer'Value attribute function.

Just to be pedantic, there is no function, in any standard language
library I know of, named "ATOI". There is one in ANSI C named "atoi".
Since C is case-sensitive, that's clearly a different function :).

I am all in favor of doing things right, but it is too much work to get
all those C programmers to change their language to case-neutral.

I'm not sure whether Integer'Value(string_variable) will fit your needs.
