Class FortranFormat


  • public class FortranFormat
    extends Object
    Converts a String representation of a Fortran double to a double.

    A modified version of the atof method provided in the Core Java books by Cay S. Horstmann & Gary Cornell. The main difference here is that we scan for Fortran double precision characters ('D' and 'd') which often cause the C versions of atof to barf.
