todouble

Converts values of any snumeric data type or string to values of type double.

Available in version 5.2.0 and later.

Prototype

	function todouble (
		input_val  : snumeric data type or string   
	)

	return_val [dimsizes(input_val)] :  double

Arguments

A variable of any snumeric data type or string of any dimension.

Return value

Returns doubles. If the input variable is signed/unsigned 64-bit integer, there may be some precision lost. The dimensionality of the output matches that of the input.

Any input value that is out of range for a double will be returned as a missing value.

Description

This function converts any snumeric data or string to double values. If the input is signed/unsigned 64-bit integer, there may be some precision lost.

Any input value that is out of range for a double will be returned as a missing value.

Attributes, with the exception of _FillValue, are not propagated by the conversion functions.
