I\'m learning C and I can\'t figure out one of the K&R exercises, the listing:

Exercise 2-3, Write the function htoi(s), which conv

Answer 1

I'm probably not making a great contribution, there are good answers above. But I'll give it a try.

As others did before me, I'm leaving some functionality for you to implement.

int htoi(const char* x)
{

        unsigned int current_position;/*current position is to be defined*/
        int prefixed=0;                                                         
        int dec=0;
        char* y = x;

        if (x && x+1 && (*(x+1)=='x' || *(x+1)=='X')){  /*Is 0x or 0X prefix present?*/
                prefixed= PREFIXED;             
        }

        if (prefixed) y+=2; /*Jumps over 0x or 0X*/     


        while (*y){
                /*getPos(const char*) and singleHexToDec(const char*,unsigned int) functions to be implemented*/
                current_position=getPos(y);
                dec+=singleHexToDec(y,current_position); 
        }
        return dec;
}
