[C] double/float to string

hi,

are there any functions that can change double and float to string ?

and is it possible to change the double/float to string which only contains
decimal format instead of exponent expression?

thx

And as to your second question, look up the 'width' and
'precision' flags for 'printf()' format specifiers.

Hi there, actually, I have posted the same question in g.g.help. As there were no answers, I am still not sure whether this is a bug or only something open to the compiler that is seemingly inconsistent or whether my understanding of C is not complete enough. I would appreciate answers or pointers to answers very much.

According to the docs, floats are 32 bit and doubles are 64 bit. So using floats should be faster than using doubles on a 32 bit processor, and my tests confirm this. However, most of the Math methods deal with doubles and I'm having problems with casting them back to floats. For example: (double)0.1f = 0.10000000149011612 I don't need the accuracy of doubles, but the speed of floats would be benificial, but it seems I'm either...

Hi all, the following c# example baffles me. my understanding of the managed code of visual .net is that all casts like this would be safe, but this example seems to contradict this notion. if you look at the debugger info, the double dou is half filled w/ garbage bits, instead of those bits being zeroed out appropriately. using System; namespace decimaltodouble {

First, sorry if this is off-topic, not strictly being a C++ issue. I could not find a ng on numerics or serialization and I figure this ng is the closest I can get. Now the question: I want to serialize doubles in human-readable decimal form and be sure I get the exact same binary values when I read them back. (Right now, I don't care about NaN, infinities etc.)

I am writing a program which uses sqrt() a lot. A historically very slow function but I read on CPUs with SSE support this is actually fast. Problem: C's sqrt() (unlike C++ sqrt()) is defined to work on doubles only, and early versions of SSE did not support double precision. The CPU requirement "something with at least first generation SEE support" (everything from P3/Athlon XP and up) is acceptable for me. However, requiring a CPU which...

I just noticed that my "improved" version of sscanf() doesn't assign floating point numbers properly if the variable assigned to is declared as a "float" rather than a "double". (This never cropped up before, since I rarely use "float"s for anything, and hardly ever use the function for floating-point numbers in the first place; I just was messing around testing it for all cases and noticed a problem.) Anyway, it is declared and I...
