How to convert a string to integer in C?

Question

I am trying to find out if there is an alternative way of converting string to integer in C.

I regularly pattern the following in my code.

char s[] =         


        

Answer 1

//I think this way we could go :
int my_atoi(const char* snum)
{
 int nInt(0);
 int index(0);
 while(snum[index])
 {
    if(!nInt)
        nInt= ( (int) snum[index]) - 48;
    else
    {
        nInt = (nInt *= 10) + ((int) snum[index] - 48);
    }
    index++;
 }
 return(nInt);
}

int main()
{
    printf("Returned number is: %d\n", my_atoi("676987"));
    return 0;
}
