[Code] Other way of string into int

Other than the classic Convert.ToInt32(string), I thought of another way to convert a string into an int.

This is what I came up with:

string demo = "45";
public int StringToInt(string demo)
{
	int val = 0;
	for (int i = 0; i <= 1000000; i++)
	{
		if (demo == i.ToString())
		{
			val = i;
			break;
		}
	}
	return val;
}

Disadvantages:

• Your pc may lag while this takes place if it is slow

• It can only take values up to the specified index (here, 1 million)

Instead of a nooby method of adding each number and string-ized version of it into an array or dictionary, this can be used.

This is not as efficient as the one provided by Microsoft, but this is just an idea. Not telling anyone to use it.

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

If you're telling yourself it's only worse than the method already implemented, why would you make it or even post it?
Just makes me curious.

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

This doesn't work, because it is a public string and you return an int...

You will get this error:

Error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'string'

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

string demo = "45";
public int StringToInt(string demo)
{
	int val = 0;
	for (int i = 0; i <= 1000000; i++)
	{
		for (int j = 0; j <= demo.Length; j++)// where is this used?
		{
			if (demo == i.ToString())
			{
				val = i;
				break;
			}
		}
	}
	return val;
}

string demo = "45";
public int StringToInt(string demo)
{
	int val = 0;
	for (int i = 0; i <= 1000000; i++)
	{
			if (demo == i.ToString())
			{
				val = i;
				break;
			}
	}
	return val;
}

still useless

Nope. Don't think I did that.

aweful code

Disadvantages:

• a LOT of disadvantages.

Could you please think a little bit before you post something. I usually don't get involved with people asking question that can be answered using this wonderful tool called GOOGLE (I thought that people could tell the difference between the EEforums and Google (or even stackoverflow), but I was wrong)

But THIS? It's a whole new level...

So again: Think a bit before posting... Ask yourself if it's really useful. If not, keep it for yourself.

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

Let's not post ridiculous code on this forum.

string numberString = "45";
int number;
if (int.TryParse(numberString, out number))
{
    //Continue if parsed successfully;
}

If there was even the slightest chance that this thread wasn't started as a troll, there's no hope for you.

Other than the classic Convert.ToInt32(string)

It gets easier: int.Parse(variable);

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

Guys, all of you are wrong!
Where humanity will be if all the code will be correctly and efficiently written?
Testers will no longer have a job...
All apps will run faster so CPU fabricants will no longer sell anything because nobody will need stronger processing power.
So I must say "Thanks that you exist Alkazam1448, and you bring more money to our pockets."

Re: [Code] Other way of string into int

public static int? ToInt(string value)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < int.MaxValue; i++)
            {
                if (value == i.ToString())
                {
                    return i;
                }
            }

            return null;
        }

It's beautifully inefficient, it's an art. It must be respected!
