Number parsing functions parse strings like “123”, “3.14” or “0xff” and return an integer or fixed-point number of the same value.

Simple number parsing functions return 0 if the input string cannot be parsed as a number, and return the minimum or maximum possible value if the input string is a number beyond value limits of ACS variables.

• int atoi(str s) parses a string as integer and returns its value.
• fixed atof(str s) parses a string as a fixed-point number and returns its value.

fixed numbers have a limited precision after the point. atof tries to parse fixed-point numbers to the best precision, but is biased toward 0.

Number parsing functions parse the following number format:

• Integers: <sign> <base prefix> <digits>
• Fixed-point numbers: <sign> <base prefix> <digits> . <digits>

Sign can be +, -, or nothing (equivalent to +_.

Base prefix can be one of the following:

• Nothing – base 10
• 0x – base 16
• 0o – base 8
• 0b – base 2

Bases up to 36 are supported, using the following digits: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. Digits beyond 9 are case-insensitive.
