Data Type Change

atoi (asci to integer)

Reference:http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/atoi/


atoi
function


int atoi ( const char * str );

Convert string to integer
Parses the C string str interpreting its content as an integral number, which is returned as an int value.

The function first discards as many whitespace characters as necessary until the first non-whitespace character is found. Then, starting from this character, takes an optional initial plus or minus sign followed by as many numerical digits as possible, and interprets them as a numerical value.

The string can contain additional characters after those that form the integral number, which are ignored and have no effect on the behavior of this function.

If the first sequence of non-whitespace characters in str is not a valid integral number, or if no such sequence exists because either str is empty or it contains only whitespace characters, no conversion is performed.

Big And Little Endian

Big endian and Little endian computers

Virtually all computer architectures are byte addressable. If an int is four bytes, there are two different ways to store this. Suppose the address of the int is A. In a so-called big endian computer, the highest order byte is stored at A, and the lowest order byte is stored at address A+3. In a so-called little endian computer, address A stores the least significant byte and the most significant byte is at address A+3.

Big endian computer architectures include the IBM 370, the Motorola 68000 and Sun Sparc. Little endian computers include the intel series (80486, pentium etc) and VAX.

Consider the decimal integer 91,329. This is 00 01 64 C1 in hexidecimal. If this were to be stored at address A in a big endian computer, 00 would be at address A, 01 at address A+1 64 at address A+2, and C1 at address A+3. On a little endian computer, C1 would be the value at address A, 64 at address A+1, 01 at address A+2, and 00 at address A+3.

Computer networks are big endian. This means that when little endian computers are going to pass integers over the network (IP addresses for example), they need to convert them to network byte order. Likewise, when the receive integer values over the network, they need to convert them back to their own native representation.

There are four functions that do this.

unsigned long htonl(unsigned long)
host to network conversion for long ints (4 bytes)
unsigned short htons(unsigned short)
host to network conversion for short ints (2 bytes)
unsigned long ntohl(unsigned long)
network to host conversion for long ints
unsigned short ntohs(short)
network to host conversion for short ints

On big endian computers these functions simply return their arguments.

The terms big endian and little endian are borrowed from Gulliver's Travels.

Socket Coding Function

inet_ntoa(), inet_aton(), inet_addr

Convert IP addresses from a dots-and-number string to a struct in_addr and back

Prototypes

#include  #include  #include   // ALL THESE ARE DEPRECATED!  Use inet_pton()  or inet_ntop() instead!!  char *inet_ntoa(struct in_addr in); int inet_aton(const char *cp, struct in_addr *inp); in_addr_t inet_addr(const char *cp);

Header File and Include

Method 1: (Not very rigid)
1. Sometimes you wll write a sub module in the other file
2. then you didn't link it.
3. and can call it.



Method 2: (Serious)
1. you should Define function name before each function usage
2. you should add the header file.
