Question

I have tried to find this topic on the web but I couldn’t find the one I need.

I have a string of character:

char * tempBuf = “qj”;

The result I want is 0x716A, and that value is going to be converted into decimal value.

Is there any function in vc++ that can be used for that?

Answer 1

You can use a stringstream to convert each character to a hexadecimal representation.

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <cstring>

int main()
{
    const char* tempBuf = "qj";

    std::stringstream ss;

    const char* it = tempBuf;
    const char* end = tempBuf + std::strlen(tempBuf);

    for (; it != end; ++it)
        ss << std::hex << unsigned(*it);

    unsigned result;
    ss >> result;

    std::cout << "Hex value: " << std::hex << result << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Decimal value: " << std::dec << result << std::endl;
}
