Creating an atoi function

Question

I\'m attempting to create my own atoi function. With the following I\'m getting a return value of 0. Whatever I change the number variable within the function is what I get

Answer 1

As I thought, the problem is in your call.

Change your main to.

int main()
{
    char number[MAXSIZE];
    int num;

    printf("Please enter a number:\n");
    scanf("%s", number);
    num = atoi_me(number);
    printf("%d", num);
    return 0;
}

Other than this it's not a good idea to use scanf - http://c-faq.com/stdio/scanfprobs.html . In this case you should use fgets.
