CONVERTING double TO char*

[LUIS FAJARDO]

How can I convert from a double variable to string using
standard ANSI-C.


Thanks


PS: I'm currently using _fcvt but is not enough.

Hi Luis,

Thanks for your post. I suggest you to check out the funciton sprintf().
For example:

double source = 3.14159;
char destiny[100];
sprintf(destiny, "%e", source);
//Result:
//destiny = "3.141590e+000"

For more information on sprintf and its format string, please refer to the
following MSDN documentation:

sprintf, swprintf

_crt_sprintf.2c_.swprintf.asp?frame=true

=true

printf Type Field Characters

Hope this helps.

Or.. if you are not averse to using STL, you should be able to use
strstream class and pump that double into it.. When you get the str()
out of it.. it will have double as "string" in it..
