How to use atol() In C++

In C++, the atol() function translates a string and returns its equivalent integer value.

Syntax:

long int atol (const char * str)

Parameters: The function accepts one mandatory parameter str which is the representation of an integral number.

Below is the C++ program to convert string to long using atol():

C++




// C++ program to convert
// string to long using atol()
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    char s[] = "123456654";
    long int n = atol(s);
    cout << n;
    return 0;
}


Output

123456654


C++ Program For String to Long Conversion

In this article, we will learn how to convert strings to long in C++. For this conversion, there are 3 ways as follows:

  1. Using stol()
  2. Using stoul()
  3. Using atol()

Let’s start by discussing each of these methods in detail.

Example: 

Input: s1 = “20” 
           s2 = “30” 

Output: s1 + s2 
             long: 50
