CTOn
CtoN is an acronym that can refer to several concepts across different fields. There is no single universally accepted definition for the term, and its meaning is typically determined by context. In computing and software development, CtoN most commonly denotes Character to Number conversion. This refers to processes or functions that translate a single character digit, such as '0' through '9', into its corresponding numeric value (0–9). Such conversions are a core part of parsing numeric input from strings, user input validation, and data serialization. Implementations may handle optional signs, whitespace, locale-specific digits, and error reporting for invalid input. Common pitfalls include assuming ASCII digit ranges, not handling non-digit characters, and mishandling leading zeros or overflow.
Outside programming, CtoN may appear as an internal shorthand, code name, or acronym specific to an organization
Because CtoN is not a fixed term, disambiguation is often necessary. If you encounter CtoN in a
