float to string c++ code example

Example 1: how to change a string to an float in c++

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main() {
    std::string str = "123.4567";

    // convert string to float
    float num_float = std::stof(str);

    // convert string to double
    double num_double = std::stod(str);

   std:: cout<< "num_float = " << num_float << std::endl;
   std:: cout<< "num_double = " << num_double << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Example 2: to_string c++

// to_string example
#include <iostream>   // std::cout
#include <string>     // std::string, std::to_string

int main ()
{
  std::string pi = "pi is " + std::to_string(3.1415926);
  std::string perfect = std::to_string(1+2+4+7+14) + " is a perfect number";
  std::cout << pi << '\n';
  std::cout << perfect << '\n';
  return 0;
}

Example 3: cpp float to string

#include <sstream>
//..

std::ostringstream ss;
ss << myFloat;
std::string s(ss.str());
