Hi!
I am trying to find a function that converts a string into a double
or a long double number. I found atod() but I don't know which library
I have to include to use it. Could someone help me?
Thanks! 5 11961

You should not use the ato*() functions (atoi, atof, etc.) because you
have no way of determining whether the input was a 0 or something that
caused an error. You should prefer either the strto* functions, or
stringstreams. I like stringstreams:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
std::string s = "15.4";
double d;
std::istringstr eam iss(s);
iss >> d;
std::cout << "value of d = " << d << '\n';
return 0;
}

return 0; }
Since you were talking about being able to distinguish an error case from
a value of 0, would you check the state of iss after the ">>" in order to
check for that error state? I assume it would leave "d" unchanged in the
event of error?

You're close. You want header <cmath>, with the function atof.
If you're already using <string> and <iostream> in the program
you might as well go whole-hog and use stringstream from
<sstream> instead.
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
int main(void)
{
std::string text = "158.2587e-12";
std::stringstre am ss;
double number;
ss << text;
ss >> number;
std::cout << text + " * 2.0 = " << number * 2.0 << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Right, sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote it. You could do
something like:
if (iss >> d) {
// conversion was successful
}
This program seems to indicate that if the conversion failed, then the
value of 'd' is unchanged:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
int main()
{
std::string s = "hello";
double d = 33.0;
std::istringstr eam iss(s);
if (iss >> d) {
std::cout << "value of d = " << d << '\n';
}
else {
std::cout << "error converting d (d = " << d << ")\n";
}
return 0;
}

ok, i've got my file reader working just the way i need.
Thanks to everyones help, i can convert basic strings to cstrings. But,
i need a little more help.
Got a way of converting a string or cstring into a number? once i can do
this, i'll be done. I'm good at doing any thing else that i need to in a
c/c++ program. Just never have done file stuff before.
Again, thanks for any help you provide.

I have an extremely cpu/data intensive piece of code that makes heavy
use of the following function:

I would really like to get away from using any old C-style functions.
So, I modified the above function to make it follow the C++ convention:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
