Question

Sorry for the confusing question, but what I’m trying to do is store an array in a variable.

I want to store the numbers in *value so that instead of int value: -12118433669 it will be int value: 123456789.

OUTPUT

123456789
array: '123456789' int value: -1218433669
0001234
array: '0001234' int value: -1218433669
5
array: 'abc5xyz' int value: -1218433669

array: '' int value: -1218433669
987654321
array: '987654321' int value: -1218433669

SOURCE

#include <stdio.h>

MyFNatoi(char *numArray, int *value) {

    int i;

    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        if (numArray[i] > 47 && numArray[i] < 58) {
            printf("%c", numArray[i] - 0);
        }
    }

}

int main() {

    char numbers[5][10] = { "123456789", "0001234", "abc5xyz", "", "987654321" };
    int i, value;

    for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        MyFNatoi(numbers[i], &value);
        printf("\narray: '%s' int value: %d\n", numbers[i], value);
    }
    return 0;

}

I propose this function:

void MyFNatoi(const char *str, int *value)
{
    if (value == NULL)
        return;

    *value = 0;

    if (str != NULL)
    {
        int negative = 0;

        if (*str == '-')
        {
            negative = 1;
            str++;
        }

        while (*str && isdigit(*str))
        {
            *value = (*value * 10) + (*str++ - '0');
        }

        if (negative)
            *value *= -1;
    }
}

It handles negative numbers, and only checks leading digits (so wont make a number out of "abc123def456" for example).
