Convert known numeric text to an integer.
C++: Convert a trusted literal to an integer before adding. Validate external input before converting it.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <array>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>
int main() {
std::string text = "42";
std::cout << std::stoi(text) + 1 << "\n";
}Expected output EXAMPLE

Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
