C program to convert ascii to integer (atoi() implementation)

In this program, we will implement a function (just like atoi()) that will convert a given integer value as string into an integer value.

C program to convert ascii to integer

// C program to convert ascii to integer (atoi() implementation)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

/*function declaration
    * name      : a2i
    * Desc      : to convert ascii to integer
    * Parameter : char* - character string 
    * return    : int 
*/
int a2i(char*);

int main()
{
    char string[5];
    printf("Enter a string value: ");
    scanf("%s", string);
    printf("\nInteger value = %d\n", a2i(string));

    return 0;
}

/*Function definition : a2i()*/
int a2i(char* txt)
{
    int sum, digit, i;
    sum = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < strlen(txt); i++) {
        digit = txt[i] - 0x30;
        sum = (sum * 10) + digit;
    }
    return sum;
}

Output

Enter a string value: 123

Integer value = 123
