string hex to int c++

To convert a hexadecimal string to an integer in C++, you can use the std::stoi function. Here are the steps involved in the process:

  1. Include the necessary header file:
#include <string>

This header file provides the necessary functions and classes for working with strings in C++.

  1. Declare a string variable to store the hexadecimal value:
std::string hexString = "7F";

Replace "7F" with the hexadecimal string you want to convert.

  1. Use the std::stoi function to convert the string to an integer:
int intValue = std::stoi(hexString, nullptr, 16);

The std::stoi function takes three arguments: the string to convert, a pointer to store the index of the first invalid character encountered, and the base of the number system (in this case, 16 for hexadecimal).

  1. Use the converted integer value as needed:
std::cout << "Integer value: " << intValue << std::endl;

Replace std::cout << "Integer value: " << intValue << std::endl; with the code that uses the converted integer value.

That's it! The std::stoi function converts the hexadecimal string to an integer, allowing you to perform further operations or store the value as needed.
