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

- string is the pointer to a character string

Return Value

What This Function Does
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.
