How do you convert a String to a float or int?

Question

In an Arduino program I\'m working on the GPS sends the coordinates to the arduino through USB. Because of this, the incoming coordinates are stored as Strings. Is there any way

Answer 1

c_str() will give you the string buffer const char* pointer.
.
So you can use your convertion functions:.
int gpslong = atoi(curLongitude.c_str())
float gpslong = atof(curLongitude.c_str())
