Converting strings into doubles

Tilpo (8)
Hi everyone, I know this might come over (or it might not come over) as a simple question, but how can i convert to contents of a string object to a double (or any kind of number object)? string myString = "53.4" double myDouble = myString = 53.4 something similar to the above will generate an error instead of overloading it to make it able to convert.

string y = "69";
double x = strtod(y.c_str());

i think thats it, but i might have just made that up.
