Hi,
I don't use the Genie syntax but a working sample for vala is :
>>
using GLib;
public class SumCol {
public static it main(string [] args)
{
int MAXLINELEN = 128;
int sum = 0;
char[] str = new char [MAXLINELEN];
while(stdin.gets(str) != null)
{
sum += ((string)str).to_int();
}
stdout.printf("%d\n",sum);
return 0;
}
}
<<
You can simply cast a char array to string as the string class is only
a wrapper around NULL terminated unichar array.
