remove decimal but show cents with sprintf

[Chad]

I would like to remove the decimal but still show the cents using
sprintf.
char empheader[72];
double totalwage = 123.45;
sprintf(emphead er, "%.2f", totalwage);
This formats totalwage to show 123.45, I want it to show 12345. I'm
creating an electronic file for wage reporting and the decimal value is
assumed so the dot shouldn't be displayed. Can this be done with
sprintf?

Easiest way I can think of:

sprintf( empheader, "%d", (int) (totalwage * 100.0 ) );

If you must...

snprintf(emphea der, sizeof(empheade r), "%d", (int)((totalwag e -
floor(totalwage )) * 100));

Easiest way I can think of:

sprintf( empheader, "%d", (int) (totalwage * 100.0 ) );

Even easier than "easiest:"

sprintf (empheader, "%.0f", totalwage * 100.0);

.... with the added advantage of correct rounding.

Having read and re-read the classic paper on printing
floating-point numbers several times in the last few weeks, I'd
like to point out that should really be an advantage of *a better
chance* of correct rounding rather than an absolute statement.
Just multiplying by 100 can wreck things. (Of course, if I
misinterpreted the paper, and someone corrects me on it, then
I'll learn something from that, too.)

If you don't like /* 100.0/ proposed ealier you can always use:

int ret = sprintf(emphead er, "%.2f", totalwage);
if (ret>0) {
empheader[ret-2] = empheader[ret-1];
empheader[ret-1] = empheader[ret ];
empheader[ret-1] = 0;
}

(plus you should always use snprintf() instead of sprintf().)

You realize that double will give rounding errors both ways(up and
down). long or longlong ans cents or tenths of cents would solve your
problem and the issues with floats.
