QT String to short int - Hex Value

Question

I want to convert QString to short int. For eg,

Input: QString str = "0x0001"; Output: short int num = 0x0001;

I have tried toShort() method of QString but it converts "0x0024" to 24. But I want 0x0024 as the value. I know that short int can store value in the form of 0x.

Answer 1

It makes sense to use toShort or toUInt. However when using these functions, you have to give 10 instead of 16 to get the decimal value. For eg:

short hex = str.toUInt(&ok, 16); // returns 24
short dec = str.toUInt(&ok, 10); // returns 36
