DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The ATOFcommand is used to read an ASCIIstring containing a number in the format:
-123456789.123456789
The string is stored in the ab[index] array. The argument in the ATOF(index) function is the
index of ab[] where the string begins. The parsing ends when a character other than a digit,
decimal point or minus sign is met.
The value returned is a float, which can be assigned to a floating-point variable or an integer.
EXAMPLE:
ab[10]=50
ab[11]=51
ab[12]=48
ab[13]=46
ab[14]=49
ab[15]=0
af[0]=ATOF(10)
