C Exercises: Convert a string to a long integer

C Variable Type : Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a C program to convert a string to a long integer.

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main ()
{
	char buffer[] = "2016 40a0b0 -1101110100110111100110 0x5abfff";
	char * ptr_end;
	long int i1, i2, i3, i4;

	i1 = strtol (buffer,&ptr_end,10);
	i2 = strtol (ptr_end,&ptr_end,16);
	i3 = strtol (ptr_end,&ptr_end,2);
	i4 = strtol (ptr_end,NULL,0);
	printf ("\nIn decimals: %ld, %ld, %ld, %ld.\n\n", i1, i2, i3, i4);
	return 0;
}

Sample Output:

In decimals: 2016, 4235440, -3624422, 5947391.
