try ((double))your_string;

no way man. you can't convert string to double like that.

Do you just mean a string of chars like:

char *string = "this is a string";

?

If so, use atoi() to convert it to an int, and then cast the int to a double.

If so, use atoi() to convert it to an int, and then cast the int to a double.

The atoi(const char *) (ascii to integer) part was right, but if your string is "54.3", you will get 54 as the conversion, then casting to a double you will get 54.0. You need to use atof(const char *) (ascii to float) to convert to a float / double.

Good point. I've never had to actually do this before in real programming.

Why don't you try to make your know function to convert string containing double data. The logic is simple.

Let you have a string - "45.03". Now break your entire string to characters noting the position from decimal character. Write a code that multiply the character to 10 after taking exponent, acc. to positional value of character.

In "45.03 ", character "5" lies at position 0 from "." and character "4" lies at position 1 from ".". Now do multiply the numeric value of chracter to 10 after exponenting it via positional value of character, i.e, 5 * 10^0 , 4*10^1, 0*10^-1, 3*10^-2 and now add all the values you get from these operation for result.

I think you might be able to understand this logic.
