    A C++ Problem.

    Hi folks,

    Currently, in my project, the user types in a string of characters to a character array. Some of those characters are numbers that are vital to the running of the program. I have to include these numbers in int variables. I am currently having trouble, as 0 is transformed into 48 when I try to declare it as int. Similarly 9 turns into 57 and so on.

    Is there a way that I can retain the true value when I do what i described above. Thanks in advance.

    why do you use character array instead of std::string?

    to convert characters '0' - '9' into integers 0 - 9 use

    Code:
    char ch = '3';
    int i = ch - '0';
    to convert strings like "123" into integers use stringstream object
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
