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.
Analysis
The following cases should be considered for this problem:
Java Solution
public int atoi(String str) {
if (str == null || str.length() < 1)
return 0;
// trim white spaces
str = str.trim();
char flag = '+';
// check negative or positive
int i = 0;
if (str.charAt(0) == '-') {
flag = '-';
i++;
} else if (str.charAt(0) == '+') {
i++;
}
// use double to store result
double result = 0;
// calculate value
while (str.length() > i && str.charAt(i) >= '0' && str.charAt(i) <= '9') {
result = result * 10 + (str.charAt(i) - '0');
i++;
}
if (flag == '-')
result = -result;
// handle max and min
if (result > Integer.MAX_VALUE)
return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
if (result < Integer.MIN_VALUE)
return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
return (int) result;
}
