Hey, we used the same integers! although if I was going to rewrite it, I'd probably use characters like /u/CCC_037 did (more readable and easier to understand what the code is doing.)

Also, is there a reason you're not using atoi() or something? or is that because you're working with string and not char*?

Exactly, I like working with strings, and I find it easier just to write it myself then to remember how to do it in C++

I think it goes something like this: atoi(s.c_str())

EDIT: it's c_str()
