Converting string, to float (without atof) in C
c
Solution
Here is my try:
float stof(const char* s){
float rez = 0, fact = 1;
if (*s == '-'){
s++;
fact = -1;
};
for (int point_seen = 0; *s; s++){
if (*s == '.'){
point_seen = 1;
continue;
};
int d = *s - '0';
if (d >= 0 && d <= 9){
if (point_seen) fact /= 10.0f;
rez = rez * 10.0f + (float)d;
};
};
return rez * fact;
};
Problem
I'm designing a function that will convert a string into a float. e.g. "45.5" = 45.5 I have this so far. But it doesn't seem to work. Keep in mind, we cannot use any C library functions like atoi, atof or even pow for that matter. ``` int str2float( char *s ) { int num = 0; int dec = 0; double i = 1.0; int ten = 1; /***** ADD YOUR CODE HERE *****/ for(; *s != '\0'; s++) { if (*s == '.'){ for(; *s != '\0'; s++){ dec = (dec * CONT) + (*s - '0'); i++; } }else{ num = (num * CONT) + (*s - '0'); } } for(;i!=0;i--){ ten *= 10; } dec = dec / (ten); printf("%d", dec); num += dec; return num; } ```
