String to Decimal

String to Decimal conversion is the process of parsing a string representation of a number into its corresponding decimal (floating-point) value. This operation is commonly used in programming when working with user input, parsing data from text files or APIs, or when performing calculations with numbers initially represented as strings.

Functions this tool can perform:

• Convert string representations of numbers to decimal (floating-point) values
• Handle positive and negative numbers
• Support scientific notation (e.g., 1.23e-4)
• Allow thousands separators (e.g., 1,234.56)
• Provide language-specific code samples for implementation
• Support multiple programming languages (Java, Python, C#, C++, Go)
• Validate input and handle potential errors in the conversion process
• Offer customization options (e.g., allowing/disallowing scientific notation)
• Useful for financial calculations, data processing, and scientific computing
• Assist in understanding different number formats across programming languages
