How to parse a string to an int in C++?

I have done some research and some people say to use atio and others say it's bad, and I can't get it to work anyways.

So I just want to ask flat out, whats the right way to convert a string to a int.

string s = "10";
int i = s....?

Thanks!

Some handy quick functions (if you're not using Boost):

template<typename T>
std::string ToString(const T& v)
{
    std::ostringstream ss;
    ss << v;
    return ss.str();
}

template<typename T>
T FromString(const std::string& str)
{
    std::istringstream ss(str);
    T ret;
    ss >> ret;
    return ret;
}

Example:

int i = FromString<int>(s);
std::string str = ToString(i);

Works for any streamable types (floats etc). You'll need to #include <sstream> and possibly also #include <string>.
