Syntax
double strtod(const char *str, char **endptr)
Description
Converts the string pointed to by the argument str to a floating-point number (type double). If endptr is not NULL, a pointer to the character after the last character used in the conversion is stored in the location referenced by endptr.
Parameters
- str
- This is the value to be converted to a string.
- endptr
- This is the reference to an already allocated object of type char*, whose value is set by the function to the next character in str after the numerical value.
Return Value
This function returns the converted floating point number as a double value, else zero value (0.0) is returned.

printf("Wow all that! Let's consider PI is equal to: %.2f.\n", strtod(pi, NULL));
return 0;
