Progam To Convert Ascii To Float Using A Function

This C program contains a function that converts an ASCII string to a float number. The function takes in a character array, loops through the string to extract the sign, integer part, decimal part, and exponent. It then calculates the float value and returns it. The main function prompts the user for input, calls the conversion function, and prints out the float output.
