Ascii to Long Double conversion

[nitinmoriwal]

Does anyone know , how to do the conversion from Ascii to long double?
Please provide one example.

Many Thanks.

I'm unsure what you mean... do you want something like atof()? It's a C function that does the conversion. If you want C++, you'll have to use std.atof() or stringstreams.

Here's a code example:

char c_number[] = "45.33";
double d_number = atof(c_number);

And with stringstreams:

std::stringstream s_number("45.33");
double d_number;
s_number >> d_number;

Hope this helps

thanks for your answer.
i wanted to know, do we have any conversion function in C to convert ascii to long double as the same way we do for atof()?

You've already been shown how to do it in both C and C++ - whats wrong with those methods?

Use Joey's advice and just put the word 'long' in front of 'double'
