ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

I'm guessing you want to convert a string representation of a number into its equivalent form in which case atoi () is the recognized function to convert a character representation of a number into its integer equivalent.

the problem that i use unix suse
i have many freinds that said to me atoi will not work on unix(i mean language c under unix )
did you test that with unix suse.
i will try it when get back to home but here in my school they said it does not work!!!!!
Yeah, it'll work under Unix. Try `man atoi` at your shell. Also, your title said to convert a char* to an int, which is what atoi() does. But your post said to convert a char, which is different. To convert a single char like '7', do this: int x = (int)ch - (int)'0';
