Use a stringstream:

[code=cpp]
stringstream ss;
ss << 0X1A;
double result;
ss >> result;
cout << result << endl;

//Or use a string
ss.flush();
string str("0x1A");
ss << str;
ss >> result;
cout << result << endl;
[/code]

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply. But u havent mentioned what is the value of result and i hope the ss is the hex format value.

result is a double. The hex value is in the double.

ss is a stringstream object. You may want to refresh your memory about this type.

Try the code.
