int main () {
   float val;
   char str[20];
   
   strcpy(str, "98993489");
   val = atof(str);//returns the string as a floating point number
   printf("String value = %s, Float value = %f\n", str, val);

   strcpy(str, "tutorialspoint.com");
   val = atof(str);
   printf("String value = %s, Float value = %f\n", str, val);
