I’m trying to convert std::string to float/double.
I tried:

std::string num = "0.6";
double temp = (double)atof(num.c_str());

But it always returns zero. Any other ways?

    std::string num = "0.6";
    double temp = ::atof(num.c_str());
    

    Does it for me, it is a valid C++ syntax to convert a string to a double.

    You can do it with the stringstream or boost::lexical_cast but those come with a performance penalty.


    Ahaha you have a Qt project …

    QString winOpacity("0.6");
    double temp = winOpacity.toDouble();
    

    Extra note:
    If the input data is a const char*, QByteArray::toDouble will be faster.
