+<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/string-to-integer-atoi">8. String to Integer (atoi)</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr><p>Implement the <code>myAtoi(string s)</code> function, which converts a string to a 32-bit signed integer (similar to C/C++&#39;s <code>atoi</code> function).</p>
+
+<p>The algorithm for <code>myAtoi(string s)</code> is as follows:</p>
+
+<ol>
+	<li>Read in and ignore any leading whitespace.</li>
+	<li>Check if the next character (if not already at the end of the string) is <code>&#39;-&#39;</code> or <code>&#39;+&#39;</code>. Read this character in if it is either. This determines if the final result is negative or positive respectively. Assume the result is positive if neither is present.</li>
+	<li>Read in next the characters until the next non-digit character or the end of the input is reached. The rest of the string is ignored.</li>
+	<li>Convert these digits into an integer (i.e. <code>&quot;123&quot; -&gt; 123</code>, <code>&quot;0032&quot; -&gt; 32</code>). If no digits were read, then the integer is <code>0</code>. Change the sign as necessary (from step 2).</li>
+	<li>If the integer is out of the 32-bit signed integer range <code>[-2<sup>31</sup>, 2<sup>31</sup> - 1]</code>, then clamp the integer so that it remains in the range. Specifically, integers less than <code>-2<sup>31</sup></code> should be clamped to <code>-2<sup>31</sup></code>, and integers greater than <code>2<sup>31</sup> - 1</code> should be clamped to <code>2<sup>31</sup> - 1</code>.</li>
+	<li>Return the integer as the final result.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p><strong>Note:</strong></p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Only the space character <code>&#39; &#39;</code> is considered a whitespace character.</li>
+	<li><strong>Do not ignore</strong> any characters other than the leading whitespace or the rest of the string after the digits.</li>
+</ul>

+<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>
+
+<pre>
+<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;42&quot;
+<strong>Output:</strong> 42
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> The underlined characters are what is read in, the caret is the current reader position.
+Step 1: &quot;42&quot; (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace)
+         ^
+Step 2: &quot;42&quot; (no characters read because there is neither a &#39;-&#39; nor &#39;+&#39;)
+         ^
+Step 3: &quot;<u>42</u>&quot; (&quot;42&quot; is read in)
+           ^
+The parsed integer is 42.
+Since 42 is in the range [-2<sup>31</sup>, 2<sup>31</sup> - 1], the final result is 42.
+</pre>
+
+<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>
+
+<pre>
+<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;   -42&quot;
+<strong>Output:</strong> -42
+<strong>Explanation:</strong>
+Step 1: &quot;<u>   </u>-42&quot; (leading whitespace is read and ignored)
+            ^
+Step 2: &quot;   <u>-</u>42&quot; (&#39;-&#39; is read, so the result should be negative)
+             ^
+Step 3: &quot;   -<u>42</u>&quot; (&quot;42&quot; is read in)
+               ^
+The parsed integer is -42.
+Since -42 is in the range [-2<sup>31</sup>, 2<sup>31</sup> - 1], the final result is -42.
+</pre>
+
+<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>
+
+<pre>
+<strong>Input:</strong> s = &quot;4193 with words&quot;
+<strong>Output:</strong> 4193
+<strong>Explanation:</strong>
+Step 1: &quot;4193 with words&quot; (no characters read because there is no leading whitespace)
+         ^
+Step 2: &quot;4193 with words&quot; (no characters read because there is neither a &#39;-&#39; nor &#39;+&#39;)
+         ^
+Step 3: &quot;<u>4193</u> with words&quot; (&quot;4193&quot; is read in; reading stops because the next character is a non-digit)
+             ^
+The parsed integer is 4193.
+Since 4193 is in the range [-2<sup>31</sup>, 2<sup>31</sup> - 1], the final result is 4193.
