8. String to Integer (atoi)

Problem Statement

link: LeetCode.cn LeetCode 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 than 231 - 1 should be rounded to 231 - 1. Return the integer as the final result.

Example:

Input: s = "42" Output: 42

Input: ` s = “ -042” **Output:** -42`

Solution Approach

Algorithm

Implement

    class Solution:
    def myAtoi(self, s: str) -> int:
        #s.lstrip()
        #check - + 
        # isdigit 
        # check min_int max_int
        s = s.lstrip()
        isNegative = 1
        n = len(s)
        res = 0
        i = 0
        if n <= 0:
            return 0
        if s[i] == "-":
            isNegative = -1
            i += 1
        elif s[i] == "+":
            i += 1
        while i < n and s[i] == 0:
            i += 1

        while i < n:
            if s[i].isdigit():
                res = res * 10 + int(s[i])
                i += 1
            else:
                break
        res = res * isNegative 
        if res < - 2**31:
            res = -2**31
        if res > 2**31 - 1:
            res = 2**31 - 1

        return res
