    //      discuss at: https://locutus.io/c/stdlib/strtod/
    // parity verified: C 23
    //     original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (https://kvz.io)
    //          note 1: Parses a floating-point number from the start of the string.
    //          note 2: Stops at the first invalid trailing character, similar to C strtod.
    //       example 1: strtod('3.14')
    //       returns 1: 3.14
    //       example 2: strtod('  -2.5e2xyz')
    //       returns 2: -250
    //       example 3: strtod('abc')
    //       returns 3: 0
