How do you convert a floating point number to a string in C++? Thanks, miro

Try using this function:

char *_fcvt( double value, int count, int *dec, int *sign );

It's declared in "stdlib.h"

From Online MSVC docs:

Parameters   value     Number to be converted count     Number of digits after decimal point dec     Pointer to store decimal-point position sign     Pointer to store sign indicator

You can use

char *_gcvt( double value, int digits, char *buffer );

Returns the ptr to buffer

value:Value to be converted
digits:Number of significant digits stored
buffer:Storage location for result

I hope this works for ya

Or how about:

    double atof( const char *string );    

baskuenen: That function does exactly the opposite, converts a string to a floating point value (as I''m sure you know )

Oops, sorry. Posted tooo fast
Thanks for saying so Gaijin - now I know why I look the way I do...stupid

How about sprintf?
