在 C 中将字符串转换为双精度变量

Question

I have written the following code. It should convert a string like "88" to double value 88 and print it

void convertType(char* value)
{
   int i = 0;
   char ch;
   double ret = 0;
   while((ch = value[i])!= '\0')
   {
      ret = ret*10 + (ch - '0');
      i++;
   }
   printf("%d",ret); //or %lf..
}

// input string :88

But it always prints 0 . But when I change type of ret to int , it works fine. When the type is float or double , it prints 0 . So why am I getting these ambiguous results?

Answer 1

Use sscanf (header stdio.h or cstdio in C++):

char str[] = "12345.56";
double d;

sscanf(str, "%lf", &d);

printf("%lf", d);

Answer 2

You might be able to use atof() it returns a double.

Answer 3

But it always prints 0...But when i change type of ret to int...it works fine...when the type is float or double,it prints zero.

Logic is fine. Just your format specifier is wrong. Change it to %f and all is well!

Answer 4

You should use function "atof" if you want to parse a char* to double.

You should also use the delimiter "%f" to print the double:

More information and example of use can be found here.

Example of use:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
   float val;
   char str[20];

   strcpy(str, "98993489");
   val = atof(str);
   printf("String value = %s, Float value = %f\n", str, val);

   strcpy(str, "tutorialspoint.com");
   val = atof(str);
   printf("String value = %s, Float value = %f\n", str, val);

   return(0);
}

To print it you must print it as a float:

printf("This is the value in float: %f\n", yourFloatValue);

converting string to a double variable in C

If overflow is not a concern, yet code wants to detect extra non-white-space text after the numeric text:

// return 1 on success
int convertType(const char* value, double *destination) {
  char sentinel;
  return sscanf(value,"%f %c", destination, &sentinel) == 1;
}

If the sscanf() fails to find a double , the return value of sscanf() will be EOF or 0.

If the sscanf() finds non-white-space text after numeric text, it will return 2.

If only a double is scanned, without extra, sscanf() returns 1. Leading and trailing white-spaces are OK.

Example:

double x;
if (convertType(some_string, &x)) {
  printf("%.17e\n", x);  // or whatever FP format you like
} else {
  puts("Failed");
}

Answer 6

This works for me:

double stod(const char* s); //declaration

double d = stod(row[0]); //call


double stod(const char* s){    //definition
    double 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;
};

Answer 7

The following code works for me.

#include <stdio.h>

void convertType(char* value);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char *str="0929";
    convertType(str);

    return  0;
}

void convertType(char* value) {
    double ret = 0;

    while(*value != '\0') {
        ret = ret*10 +(*value - '0');
        value++;
    }

    fprintf(stdout, "value: %f\n", ret);
}
