converting string to integer

-----------------------------------

I need to figure out how to convert a string filled with numbers into an unsigned long long int. The string will have anywhere between 1 and 10 characters. I want it so that the string "9876543210" becomes the integer number 9876543210. for this program I am only allowed to use functions in the string.h library, getchar(), putchar() and printf(). Thanks in advance.

Start by figuring out how to get an individual character out of that string (say c = "2") while keeping track of its position from the end (n = 3[rd] char)

Converting a character to an integer is easy, think ASCII values.

That n will let you know where in the string it was.

c = 2
n = 3
c * 10 ** (n-1) = 200

Then just add all of that up.
