unsigned long      stoul( const std::string& str, std::size_t* pos = 0, int base = 10 );

(1)

(since C++11)

unsigned long long stoull( const std::string& str, std::size_t* pos = 0, int base = 10 );
unsigned long long stoull( const std::wstring& str, std::size_t* pos = 0, int base = 10 );

(since C++11)

Interprets an unsigned integer value in the string str.

1) calls std::strtoul(str.c_str(), &ptr, base) or std::wcstoul(str.c_str(), &ptr, base)

2) calls std::strtoull(str.c_str(), &ptr, base) or std::wcstoull(str.c_str(), &ptr, base)

Discards any whitespace characters (as identified by calling isspace()) until the first non-whitespace character is found, then takes as many characters as possible to form a valid base-n (where n=base) unsigned integer number representation and converts them to an integer value. The valid unsigned integer value consists of the following parts:

(optional) prefix (0) indicating octal base (applies only when the base is 8 or 0)
(optional) prefix (0x or 0X) indicating hexadecimal base (applies only when the base is 16 or 0)
a sequence of digits

The set of valid digits for base-2 integer is 01, for base-3 integer is 012, and so on. For bases larger than 10, valid digits include alphabetic characters, starting from Aa for base-11 integer, to Zz for base-36 integer. The case of the characters is ignored.

Additional numeric formats may be accepted by the currently installed C locale.

If the value of base is 0, the numeric base is auto-detected: if the prefix is 0, the base is octal, if the prefix is 0x or 0X, the base is hexadecimal, otherwise the base is decimal.

If the minus sign was part of the input sequence, the numeric value calculated from the sequence of digits is negated in the result type.

If pos is not a null pointer, then a pointer ptr, internal to the conversion functions, will receive the address of the first unconverted character in str.c_str(), and the index of that character will be calculated and stored in *pos, giving the number of characters that were processed by the conversion.

Parameters

str	-	the string to convert
pos	-	address of an integer to store the number of characters processed
base	-	the number base

Return value

The string converted to the specified unsigned integer type.

Exceptions

std::invalid_argument if no conversion could be performed
std::out_of_range if the converted value would fall out of the range of the result type or if the underlying function (std::strtoul or std::strtoull) sets errno to ERANGE.
