How can i convert string to float32?
e.g.,
atol is not helping as it's used to convert to integers and not float.

I don't think there is one yet (I may be mistaken). You can of course write your own, but it's surprisingly hard. If you don't care about perfectly adhering to float spec, though, you can do it pretty easily just by converting digits to ints, dividing by the appropriate power of 10, and summing
Indeed, it’s horrifyingly difficult. But again, most ieee float things are like that.
You can find a "naive" implementation here https://github.com/carlca/ca_mojo
