I have numbers represented as chars (eg. '11.27') I want to type cast it to a double but im getting "pointer value used where a floating point value was expected". Any ideas?

Jump to PostStrings and character arrays cannot be typecast as values. They can only be converted. Look up string to number conversion techniques.

I should demonstrate how I'm preforming the operation.
return(((double)node->key)-48);
where node->key = char[10]
