Conversion from char to int?

[TheUmer]

What could be wrong with this code?:

int arr[10];
char arr2[10];
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
        arr[i]=(int)arr2[i];
}

When I output the supposedly converted array, it's outputs some crazy numbers.
???

For one thing, you have not initialised arr2.

[TheUmer]

any random characters including spaces.

[laserlight]

Okay, so what is so crazy about the numbers? Don't you get the (presumably) ASCII values as you intended?

You might want to post the smallest and simplest compilable program that demonstrates the problem. Post your sample input, expected output, and actual output.

Try this , you will get to know the problem.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
main()
{
int arr[10];
char arr2[10]="abcdefghi"; // Initialize the array
int i;
for (i=0; i<10; i++)
{
        arr[i]=(int)arr2[i]; // Converting to int .(ASCII value)
}

for (i=0; i<10; i++)
{
        printf("===> %d\n",arr[i]);
}
}

Sorry, but your program does not explain the problem. On the other hand, you are not TheUmer

arr2 is only initialised with 9 values in the last example by the way

[laserlight]

No, it is correctly initialised with 10 values, including the null character.

Personally, I thought that this might be a "convert digit to integer" problem, but the "any random characters including spaces" comment makes me think otherwise.

@karthigayan:

I ran your code and it gives the 'segmentation fault' error.

@laserlight:

Input string is: [p 1 (a tab) 0]

And it outputs: 80 49 9 48 0 0 0 0 0 0

I want to get 1 and 0 as integers.
?

Ah. In that case, you do want to convert a digit to an integer. Since you want to leave those characters that are not digits untouched, it implies that you need some logic in the loop, e.g., check if arr2[i] >= '0' && arr2[i] <= '9'. If it is, then you subtract '0' from arr2[i] to get the integer value. Otherwise, you just assign the value as per normal.

Alright. The problem is solved to some extend. But a little more problem:

For the given string [P 1 (tab) 0] it outputs fine: 1 0
But when I have a string [P 2 (tab) 34] it outputs: 2 3 (no four.)

What could be the problem?

You only read in a single character, which is 3.

[TheUmer]

I wonder why you never reply with complete answer? How can I solve this problem?

[laserlight]

What is your current code?

[TheUmer]

int arr[10];
char arr2[10];
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
      if (arr2[i]>=0 && arr2[i]<=9)
      {
            arr[i]=(int)arr2[i]-48;
      }
}

for a single 34, it takes 3 but not 4.
