    Convert from char to int

    how can i convert from char to int? I keep getting errors, or the conversion changes the number.

    etc.

    char cVar = '1';
    int nVar = (int)cvar;

    now...

    int == 6532465

    why???

    A char is one byte. This means it can hold a maximum value of 2^8 or 128 if signed, 256 if unsigned.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    what you are doing will put the ascii val of cVar into nVar


    use atoi() in stdlib.h for converting the numerical value in char into an integer.


    Code:
    char *c="12345";
    int i;
    
    i=atoi(c);
    
    cout<<"I is : "<<i;
    -

    ASCII char to int

    Since you are using char to describe it, I would assume you want '0'..'9' in int form, then a simple thing is:
    Code:
    char c = '2';
    int ic = (int)(c - '0');
    For a string that represents a number, example above is good.
