LeetCode String to Integer (atoi)

Description:

Implement atoi to convert a string to an integer.

Hint: Carefully consider all possible input cases. If you want a challenge, please do not see below and ask yourself what are the possible input cases.

Notes: It is intended for this problem to be specified vaguely (ie, no given input specs). You are responsible to gather all the input requirements up front.

Solution:

The only problem in this problem is different types of inputs. Just figure it out, problem then gets solved.

public class Solution {
	public int myAtoi(String str) {
		for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
			if (str.charAt(i) != ' ') {
				str = str.substring(i);
				break;
			}
		System.out.println(str);
		if (str.equals(""))
			return 0;

		int coefficient = 1;
		int tot = 0;
		if (str.charAt(0) == '-') {
			coefficient = -1;
			tot = 1;
		} else if (str.charAt(0) == '+') {
			tot = 1;
		}

		long ans = 0;
		boolean flag = false;
		for (int i = tot; i < str.length(); i++) {
			char ch = str.charAt(i);
			if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
				ans = ans * 10 + ch - '0';
				flag = true;
				if (ans > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
					if (coefficient > 0)
						return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
					else
						return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
				}
			} else {
				if (!flag)
					return 0;
				break;
			}
		}

		return (int) (ans * coefficient);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Solution solution = new Solution();
		System.out.println(solution.myAtoi("9223372036854775809"));
	}
