strtod - Dynamic Memory?

atof is not working.

double a = atof("12.345");

a gets set to 12.000

I am working on a toshiba micro. The data map has no space allocated
to it for dynamic memory.

Does anyone have an idea? Could it be due to the lack of dynamic
memmor space?

All thoughts gratefully received

Am I the only person who can't understand why the topic is about strtod
but the message is about atof?


C99 7.20.1.1, The atof function:

The atof function converts the initial portion of the string
pointed to by nptr to double representation. Except for the
behavior on error, it is equivalent to

strtod(nptr, (char **)NULL)

Hi all, Message ID <c1qo3f0tro@enews2.newsguy.com> is one of many informative articles by Chris Torek about C. The particular message discusses aliasing and concludes with this paragraph: Under these strict type-aliasing rules, casting from (e.g.) "int *" to "short *" is not only quite suspicious, it is also likely to cause puzzling behavior, at least if you expect your "short *" to access or modify your "int". Even the time-honored,...

Hi experts, Is the following usage of strtod okay (p is a char pointer): value = strtod(p, &p); Is it possible that this would evoke undefined behaviour? Or should I use a temporary pointer and then assign its value to p? Thanks

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
