Hello All:

Would appreciate some help on converting the contents of an array to an integer. User enters data and it is stored into an array, but how can i convert the contents to an integer.

Here is what I have for adding the data to the array, until either 3 characters are entered from 0-9 or until the escape or enter key.

Say the user enters 1 and then enter, the array would be 100, or the user could enter 001 and then enter, the value is 1 but how to pull it out of the array so it is a number of 1. I suppose I could pad the array with FF and test each value in the array, and multiply the placeholders by 1,10,100 and add them together?. Any suggestions ?.

Code :

 
       unsigned char i;
	unsigned int array[3];
	unsigned char x; 
 
 
 do {
           while(!DataRdyUSART());       //polls receive buffer for available data
           i = ReadUSART();              // read a single character from buffer
      		 if ( ('0' <= i) && (i <= '9') && (x >=0) )
              {   
					 array[x]=i-Ascii;  //  Add to array
	 				 printf("%c",i,0);   //display on terminal;
					 x--;               
			  }
 
   }  
 
    while ( 13 != i && 27 != i);
