Interprets a floating point value in a string str.

Function discards any whitespace characters until first non-whitespace character is found. Then it takes as many characters as possible to form a valid floating point representation and converts them to floating point value. The valid floating point value can be one of the following:

  • (optional) plus or minus sign
  • nonempty sequence of decimal digits optionally containing a decimal point character (defines significand)
  • (optional) e or E followed with optional minus or plus sign and nonempty sequence of decimal digits (defines exponent)
  • (optional) plus or minus sign
  • 0x or 0X
  • nonempty sequence of hexadecimal digits optionally containing a decimal point character (defines significand)
  • (optional) p or P followed with optional minus or plus sign and nonempty sequence of hexadecimal digits (defines exponent)
  • (optional) plus or minus sign
  • INF or INFINITY ignoring case
  • (optional) plus or minus sign
  • NAN or NAN(char_sequence) ignoring case of the NAN part. char_sequence can only contain alphanumeric characters. The result is a quiet NaN floating point value.

The index of the first unconverted character is stored in pos. If NULL is passed as pos, it is ignored.

[edit] Parameters

str - the string to convert
pos - address of integer to store the index of the first unconverted character

[edit] Return value

The string converted to the specified floating point type.

[edit] Exceptions

std::invalid_argument if no conversion could be performed

std::out_of_range if the converted value would fall out of the range of the result type.
