Write an implementation of “float stringToFloat(char *str).”
The code should be simple, and not require more than the
basic operators (if, for, math operators, etc.).
• Assumptions
• Don’t worry about overflow or underflow
• Stop at the 1st invalid character and return the number
you have converted till then, if the 1st character is
invalid return 0
• Don’t worry about exponential (e.g. 1e10), instead you
should treat ‘e’ as an invalid character
• Write it like real code, e.g. do error checking
• Go though the string only once
• Examples
• “1.23” should return 1.23
• “1a” should return 1
• “a”should return 0

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{
int i = 0;
float result = 0;
int dec_count = 0;
int isDec = 0;
char* str = "123.76bg";
while(str[i])
{
if(str[i] == '.')
{
isDec = 1;
i++;
}
if((str[i]>=48) && (str[i]<=57))
{
result = result * 10;
result = result + (str[i++] - '0');
}
else
{
break;
}
if(isDec == 1)
{
dec_count++;
}
}
printf("\nThe result is: %f", result);
for(i=0; i<dec_count; i++)
{
result = result / 10;
}
printf("\nThe result is: %f", result);
return 0;
}

You are to write your own versions of strcpy() and strlen (). Call them mystrcpy() and mystrlen(). Write them first as code within main(), not as functions, then, convert them to functions. You will pass two arrays to the function in the case of mystrcpy(), the source and target array.
What is dynamic memory allocation?
