How would I write a function that reads an ascii char string and returns the int value that it represents. ignoring leading whitespace and stop conversion at the first non digit character. If it is not possible, the function should return 0 and indicate an error condition.
I cant use runtime library routines such as “scanf”.
Cheers,
Jo

Is this in C or C++? Do you have access to the atoi() function?

Hint: In ASCII, the characters '0' to '9' are consecutive. So if you were to subtract...
