Chapter 10, Problem 30RQE
Program Plan Intro
“atof” function:
In C++, the predefined function “atof” is used to convert a string value into a double-precision floating point value; it passes a string literal or character array as an argument and it converts the received value into a double type value; it takes only one parameter as an argument.
- If the argument value contains nonconvertible contents combined with the integer value then the values will be ignored while converting.
- In same way, the function will return “0” when the values can’t be able to convert into double data type.
Syntax:
Syntax for the “atof” function is as follows:
double atof (const char* n);
In the above statement,
- “double” represents the return type of the function.
- “atof” represents the name of the function.
- “const char*” represents the data type of the passing argument.
- “n” is a string variable which is required to be converted.
Example:
The example for the “atof” function is as follows:
//change the string literal to a double value.
double n = atof ("1258.11E-14 ");
In the above line, the string literal “1258.11E-14” is passed as an argument to “atof” and it returns the converted value that is “1.25811e-11”.

Is it true or false?
A string cannot be stored in a char data type variable.
Q1:Write C code for a program that reads two positive integer number, checks whether these number are co-prime or not, and prints the result.Note: two numbers are co-prime numbers if they do not have a common factor other than 1. For example, 10 and 11 are co-prime.

A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as “SIR”,“raceBIKE”, “Never odd or even”, “20/1/20”. The program should prompt the user to typein a phrase that is at least three characters long, and then tell the user whether the phrasewas a palindrome.
