Interprets a floating point value in a string str.

1) calls std::strtod(str.c_str(), &ptr) or std::wcstod(str.c_str(), &ptr)	(until C++17)
1) calls std::strtof(str.c_str(), &ptr) or std::wcstof(str.c_str(), &ptr)	(since C++17)

2) calls std::strtod(str.c_str(), &ptr) or std::wcstod(str.c_str(), &ptr)

3) calls std::strtold(str.c_str(), &ptr) or std::wcstold(str.c_str(), &ptr)

Function discards any whitespace characters (as determined by std::isspace()) 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:

• decimal floating point expression. It consists of the following parts:

• (optional) plus or minus sign
• nonempty sequence of decimal digits optionally containing decimal point character (as determined by the current C locale) (defines significand)
• (optional) e or E followed with optional minus or plus sign and nonempty sequence of decimal digits (defines exponent)

• binary floating point expression. It consists of the following parts:

• (optional) plus or minus sign
• 0x or 0X
• nonempty sequence of hexadecimal digits optionally containing a decimal point character (as determined by the current C locale) (defines significand)
• (optional) p or P followed with optional minus or plus sign and nonempty sequence of decimal digits (defines exponent)

• infinity expression. It consists of the following parts:

• (optional) plus or minus sign
• INF or INFINITY ignoring case

• not-a-number expression. It consists of the following parts:

• (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.

• any other expression that may be accepted by the currently installed C locale

If pos is passed a value other than 0 or nullptr, then a pointer ptr, internal to the conversion functions, will receive the address of the first unconverted character, and the index of that character will be calculated and stored in *pos.

Parameters

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

Return value

The string converted to the specified floating point type.

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 or if the underlying function (strtof, (since C++17)strtod or strtold) sets errno to ERANGE.
