8. String to Integer (atoi)

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.

class Solution {
public:
    int myAtoi(string str) 
    {
        long result = 0;  
        int indicator = 1;  
        if((str[0]=='+'||str[0]=='-')&&(str[1]=='+'||str[1]=='-'))
           return 0;
        int i = 0;
        i = str.find_first_not_of(' ');  
        if('0'<= str[i] && str[i] <= '9')
            result=str[i]-'0';
        else
            if(str[i] == '-' || str[i] == '+')  
                indicator = (str[i] == '-')? -1 : 1; 
            else
                return 0;
        ++i;
        while('0'<= str[i] && str[i] <= '9')   
        {  
            result = result*10 + (str[i++]-'0');  
            if(result*indicator >= INT_MAX) 
                return INT_MAX;  
            if(result*indicator <= INT_MIN) 
                return INT_MIN;                  
        }  
    return result*indicator; 
    }
