you are right, and you are wrong, too.
atoi("1234") would return 1234
atoi("Nashak") would return 0, because of the fact that
N is NOT a number.
i think one of the first checks in atoi() is something similar
to isnumber(first character of string);
if its not a number, it always returns 0,
which is why
atoi("-1234") = 0
have fun :-)
