Why is it that this won't work instead of using atoi ?Inline Code Example Here #include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("%d",(int)"10");
return 0;
}

Jump to PostCasting in C says 'treat me like something else at the byte level'.
"10"is not the same thing as10at the byte level, so the cast doesn't do what you want.

If you want to convert "10" to 10 then you need to call one of the conversion functions, such as atoi()
printf("%d\n", atoi("10"));
