Comments
The atoi function converts a string to a scalar with the same value as the numeric value represented by the string.
If str_expr contains none of the characters 0 through 9, the result is 0.
If str_expr contains only the characters 0 through 9, a minus sign (-), or a decimal point (.), the result is a scalar with the same value as the numeric value represented by the string.
If str_expr contains other characters in addition to the characters 0 through 9, a minus sign (-), or a decimal point (.), the result is a scalar with the same value as the numeric value represented by the string. The invalid characters are ignored.
atoi is included only for backward compatibility with Filler.
