C Question
Converting string, to float (without atof) in C
I'm designing a function that will convert a string into a float.
e.g. "45.5" = 45.5
I have this so far. But it doesn't seem to work. Keep in mind, we cannot use any C library functions like atoi, atof or even pow for that matter.
int str2float( char *s )
{
int num = 0;
int dec = 0;
double i = 1.0;
int ten = 1;
/***** ADD YOUR CODE HERE *****/
for(; *s != '\0'; s++)
{
if (*s == '.'){
for(; *s != '\0'; s++){
dec = (dec * CONT) + (*s - '0');
i++;
}
}else{
num = (num * CONT) + (*s - '0');
}
}
for(;i!=0;i--){
ten *= 10;
}
dec = dec / (ten);
printf("%d", dec);
num += dec;
return num;
}

Here is my try:
float stof(const char* s){
float rez = 0, fact = 1;
if (*s == '-'){
s++;
fact = -1;
};
for (int point_seen = 0; *s; s++){
if (*s == '.'){
point_seen = 1;
continue;
};
int d = *s - '0';
if (d >= 0 && d <= 9){
if (point_seen) fact /= 10.0f;
rez = rez * 10.0f + (float)d;
};
};
return rez * fact;
};
