Thread: Converting char * to float using sscanf()

Is it possible to convert char * to float using sscanf()? I tried this but it doesn't work.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    float number;
    char price[] = "49.99";

    sscanf(price, "%lf", number);

    printf("%lf", number);

    return 0;
}

Thanks.
