atof

atof(str_slice: StringSlice) -> Float64

Parses the given string as a floating point and returns that value.

For example, atof("2.25") returns 2.25.

This function is in the prelude, so you don't need to import it.

Args:

  • str_slice (StringSlice): A string to be parsed as a floating point.

Returns:

Float64: A floating-point value that represents the string.

Raises:

If the given string cannot be parsed as an floating-point value, for example in atof("hi").
