Thread: I need to convert a char to an int...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am doing something to this effect:

cin.getline(input, 30, '\n');

I then break up the input to consecutive words
ex: wait 5
word1 will store wait
word2 will store 5

but, I need some way to convert 5 in word2 to an int to pass to another function that increments a clock.

Just a simple conversion will do... Thank you anyone and everyone
