Answer 1

to get the value of a digit, substract the zero character from it, e.g in normal numeric, '1'-'0' = 1, '2'-'0' = 2. etc.

For multidigit number you can use something like this

 result =0;
 foreach(char digit in number)
 {
     result *= 10; //shift the digit, multiply by ten for each shift
     result += (digit - '0)'; //add the int value of the current digit.
 }

just replace the '0' with the arabic zero if your number uses Arabic character. This works for any numeric symbols, as long as 0-9 in that symbol system are encoded consecutively.
