atof — convert a string to a double
#include <stdlib.h>
double
atof( |
const char *nptr); |
The atof() function converts
the initial portion of the string pointed to by nptr to double. The behavior is the same as
strtod(nptr, NULL);
except that atof() does not
detect errors.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
