Question

char * x=”a”;
how would i convert it to char y=’a’;

also if i have a short char * a=”100″
how can i convert it to short b=100

thanks

Answer 1

char * x = "a";
char y = *x; //or x[0]


char * a = "100";
short b = atoi(a);

Note that assigning return value of atoi to a short might lead to overflow.

Also read why strtol is preferred over atoi for string to number conversions.
