am I right?, the source I got it from was a little dim [edited by - kappa the imp on January 12, 2003 9:32:05 AM]

I don''t know, but you could just test it out. Pass it a string with letters and check the return value.

Yes, it will return zero. It will read until it finds a non-numeric character. So "123" will return 123, "12kdjd" will return "12", and "alskdjl" will return 0.

thank you

what about "0"? :D
then you would go crazy...

how about doing this?

char foo[10] = "0";int intfoo;intfoo = atoi(foo); // if this is wrong sorry, i''m not too sure how it''s calledif(intfoo == 0) {    if(foo[0] == ''0'') {        // intfoo is correct! do something    }    else {        // intfoo is invalid, do error code    }} 

For a better way to convert strings to numbers look at the strtol function.
