NAME

ustrtod - Converts a string into a floating point number. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

#include <allegro.h> double ustrtod(const char *s, char **endp);

DESCRIPTION

This function converts as many characters of `s' that look like a floating point number into one, and sets `*endp' to point to the first unused character, if `endp' is not a NULL pointer. Example: char *endp, *string = "456.203 askdfg"; double number = ustrtod(string, &endp);

RETURN VALUE
