atof

Syntax
#include <string.h>
double atof (const char *string);

Arguments

  • string is the pointer to a character string
Return Value
The numeric value of the double type.

Explanation
It converts the specified character string to a numerical value of the double type by parsing the character string in this manner:

[whitespace] [{sign}] [digits] [.digits]
[{e|E} [sign]digits]


Where:
  • whitespace is a space, NULL, or tab character
  • sign is + or -
  • digits is a decimal digit character sting that is more than one digit
An exponent part (following e or E) can be put after the decimal number. Conversion is terminated when an unrecognizable character appears as a part of the number.

Note
This standard function comes with NuSystem.
