[aclug-L] C problem redux....

[Larry Bottorff <mrprenzl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's some code that's confusing me:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  char number[] = {"5.333009"};
  double dval;
  dval = atof("5.333009");
  printf("number: %s\n", number);
  printf("number: %lf\n", dval);
  

}

Here's the output:

number: 5.333009
number: 349440.000000

Where on earth is it getting 349440.000000 ? I get the same results when
I try atof(number). Sunday is an odd day, right?
