Hi,

I am confused about the call and the return vals. The defn, says: 
-------------------
double strtod(const char *nptr, char **endptr)

RETURN VALUES
       The strtod function returns the converted value, if any.

       If endptr is not NULL, a pointer to  the  character  after
       the last character used in the conversion is stored in the
       location referenced by endptr.

       If no conversion is performed, zero is  returned  and  the
       value  of  nptr  is  stored  in the location referenced by
       endptr.

       If the correct value would cause overflow, plus  or  minus
       HUGE_VAL is returned (according to the sign of the value),
       and ERANGE is stored in errno.  If the correct value would
       cause  underflow, zero is returned and ERANGE is stored in
       errno.
-------------------

So if nptr="1000 00 junk", then the return value must be 0 and the
expression (*endptr == nptr) must be true, right? I am not able to emulate
this. What am I missing? 

Thanks,
