    #include <cstdlib>
    #include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    main()
    {
    int val;
    long val2;
    char *string = "1234567";
    val = atoi(string); // converts to int
    val2 = atol(string); // converts to long
    return 0;
    }

    prototypes of atoi and atol.

    int atoi(const char *);
    long atol(const char *);

    atoi converts character strings only (whether you create strings with arrays or pointers, does not matter). It is seen from the prototype.

    Are you trying to convert a single character to integer (a digit) ? If this is the case you may try something like this.

    int a;
    char b = '6';
    a = b - '0';
