[quote user="Daniel Christopher"]I am trying to convert string value to float but i am getting a problem[/quote]

C function atof is part of the standard C library.  I suggest that you browse Forums that deal with the C/C++ languages for information about those functions.  For example, tutorialpoint has information about atof.

char* = "254.526";
I am getting a value like this, if I use the above function.
value = 254.52699999999999.

You need to find out about computing with binary arithmetic and how that affects decimal conversion and precision.  It's a common problem and has been discussed many times in the past seven decades.
