Converting binary to floating point

Question

How would one convert a binary to a floating point? I don't see many implementations on this one (only floating point to binary).

So for example:

int main() {
    char example[32] = "-101.1101";
    float result = makeFloat(example);
    printf("Float number representation is: %f\n", result);
}

float makeFloat(char* f) {
     /* Empty */
}

Which the output would be:

-5.8125

Trying to get some practice in, but after hours of trying to figure it out, here I am asking for help.
