Given a hex string, we have to convert it into an integer using stoi() function.
C++ STL stoi() function
stoi() stands for string to integer, it is a standard library function in C++ STL, it is used to convert a given string in various formats (like binary, octal, hex or a simple number in string formatted) into an integer.
Syntax:
int stoi (const string& str, [size_t* idx], [int base]);
Parameters:
- const string& str is an input string.
- size_t* idx is an optional parameter (pointer to the object whose value is set by the function), it's default value is 0 or we can assign it to nullptr.
- int base is also an optional parameter, its default is 10. It specifies the radix to determine the value type of input string (2 for binary, 8 for octal, 10 for decimal and 16 for hexadecimal).
Return value: It returns converted integer value.
Example:
Input:
string hex_string = "1F1FA2";
Function call:
stoi(hex_string, 0, 16);
Output:
2039714
C++ STL code to convert a hex string into an integer
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string hex_string = "1F1FA2";
int number =0;
number = stoi(hex_string, 0, 16);
cout<<"hex_string: "<<hex_string<<endl;
cout<<"number: "<<number<<endl;
hex_string = "12345";
number = stoi(hex_string, 0, 16);
cout<<"hex_string: "<<hex_string<<endl;
cout<<"number: "<<number<<endl;
return 0;
}
Output
hex_string: 1F1FA2
number: 2039714
hex_string: 12345
number: 74565
