Summary
Function: float String2Float( string str );Returns a float that will be signed if negative.
| • string | str | – | string to be typecast to a float |
The number str provided as a string may be negative and may or may not have a decimal point
Returns 0.000000 if the string contains non-numerical characters (other than a negative sign or a decimal point).
Example:
float My_new_float = String2Float("40.23578");
// returns 40.235780
float My_new_float = String2Float("-683.3");
// returns -683.300000
float My_new_float = String2Float("9924");
// returns 9924.000000
