QByteArray to Double in Qt C++ 5.8.0

I have a serial comport data read write program. Data is being read from the comport 4 (Eg: 1022), but when I'm trying to do a mathematical calculation of the data 1022/2 then its give me output as 0.5 5.0 51.00 511.0 means its not taking the whole 1022 as a single number for the mathematical calculation. Its take 1 first then divide 1/2=0.5 then once 0 digit receive it take as 10/2=5 and so on. But I want 1022 as a single digit number like (eg: 1022/2=511)

I have tried to convert the QByteArray into Double for the calculation.

output

     void MainWindow::readData()
 {
     QByteArray data = serial->readAll();
     bool ok;
     QByteArray cata= QByteArray::number(data.toDouble(&ok)/2);

    console->putData(cata);
 }
Solution

  • So here an example of a TCP client/server in Qt. the server sends 1022.72, and the client receives it and shows the result value divided by 2. (run the server then the client:
