You could try using the atof function.

The opinions given really do represent those of Micro Masters, though
they probably aren't really my own.

I am trying to learn Turbo C++ and have a Question.  I have created a
Character
Array to hold a Floating Point Number(The reason for the Array instead of
declaring it as a floating point number was so I could control the output
of what the input was onscreen), anyway - How can a Character array be
converted into a floating point number - Any ideas - Anybody - Anybody?
