ATOF()

this function is used to used to convert strings into floating-point (double) numeric values for further processing. this is useful when processing numeric input provided as strings, such as command-line arguments or user input.

double pi = atof("3.14159");

 * "3.14159" is converted to the double 3.14159

int main() {
    char intStr[] = "456";
    char floatStr[] = "98.76";

    // Convert string to integer
    int num = atoi(intStr);

    // Convert string to floating-point number
    double val = atof(floatStr);

    printf("Integer value: %d\n", num);
    printf("Floating-point value: %.2f\n", val);

    return 0;
