Convert string value to long type value using strtol()

Demo Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define LIM 30// w w  w. ja va2s  . co m
char * s_gets(char * st, int n);

int main(){

    char number[LIM];
    char * end;
    long value;
    
    puts("Enter a number (empty line to quit):");
    while(s_gets(number, LIM) && number[0] != '\0')
    {
        value = strtol(number, &end, 10);  /* base 10 */
        printf("base 10 input, base 10 output: %ld, stopped at %s (%d)\n",value, end, *end);
        value = strtol(number, &end, 16);  /* base 16 */
        printf("base 16 input, base 10 output: %ld, stopped at %s (%d)\n",value, end, *end);
        puts("Next number:");
    }
    puts("Bye!\n");
    
    return 0;
}

char * s_gets(char * st, int n){
    char * ret_val;
    int i = 0;
    
    ret_val = fgets(st, n, stdin);
    if (ret_val)
    {
        while (st[i] != '\n' && st[i] != '\0')
            i++;
        if (st[i] == '\n')
            st[i] = '\0';
        else // must have words[i] == '\0'
            while (getchar() != '\n')
                continue;
