Use a stringstream:

stringstream ss;
    ss << 0X1A;
    double result;
    ss >> result;
    cout << result << endl;
 
    //Or use a string
    ss.flush();
    string str("0x1A");
    ss << str;
    ss >> result;
    cout << result << endl;

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply. But u havent mentioned what is the value of result and i hope the ss is the hex format value.

result is a double. The hex value is in the double.

ss is a stringstream object. You may want to refresh your memory about this type.

Try the code.
