Problem
Implement the myAtoi(string s)
function, which converts a string to a 32-bit signed integer.
The algorithm for myAtoi(string s)
is as follows:
- Whitespace: Ignore any leading whitespace (
" "
). - Signedness: Determine the sign by checking if the next character is
'-'
or'+'
, assuming positivity is neither present. - Conversion: Read the integer by skipping leading zeros until a non-digit character is encountered or the end of the string is reached. If no digits were read, then the result is 0.
- Rounding: If the integer is out of the 32-bit signed integer range
[-231, 231 - 1]
, then round the integer to remain in the range. Specifically, integers less than-231
should be rounded to-231
, and integers greater than231 - 1
should be rounded to231 - 1
.
Return the integer as the final result.
Example 1:
Input: s = "42"
Output: 42
Explanation:
The underlined characters are what is read in and the caret is the current reader position. Step 1: "42" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace) ^ Step 2: "42" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+') ^ Step 3: "42" ("42" is read in) ^
Example 2:
Input: s = " -042"
Output: -42
Explanation:
Step 1: " -042" (leading whitespace is read and ignored) ^ Step 2: " -042" ('-' is read, so the result should be negative) ^ Step 3: " -042" ("042" is read in, leading zeros ignored in the result) ^
Example 3:
Input: s = "1337c0d3"
Output: 1337
Explanation:
Step 1: "1337c0d3" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace) ^ Step 2: "1337c0d3" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+') ^ Step 3: "1337c0d3" ("1337" is read in; reading stops because the next character is a non-digit) ^
Example 4:
Input: s = "0-1"
Output: 0
Explanation:
Step 1: "0-1" (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace) ^ Step 2: "0-1" (no characters read because there is neither a '-' nor '+') ^ Step 3: "0-1" ("0" is read in; reading stops because the next character is a non-digit) ^
Example 5:
Input: s = "words and 987"
Output: 0
Explanation:
Reading stops at the first non-digit character 'w'.
Constraints:
0 <= s.length <= 200
s
consists of English letters (lower-case and upper-case), digits (0-9
),' '
,'+'
,'-'
, and'.'
