First off, are you reading this from a file? Or from the command prompt...

Secondly, you need to just know math. Just use the variable type "float" for the variable in this case.

Thirdly, you need to know how to convert from a string or char* to a floating point number. I use my own String class library, so I am not sure if the standard library contains a method for converting strings to integers or floats.
