I am doing floating point calculation inside C function, with debugger I can see float values in single step, if I want to print them on console, I am using printf, but printf not working for flaot, how can I convert them to int and print on console using printf. I tried to print with %d, but float, but not printing, any idea?.
Thanks.

if you want to print the floating point value to the console you can use %f . if you want to convert floating point to integer just typecast it. I wonder if you were expecting this answer.
somehow printf library not printing if I use %f, but if I typecast to int, then it roundsup but I am loosing that truncated value.

Perhaps you should post the code you are using to print, including data types of variables being printed.
Additionally it would help to know what platform you are working on, some embedded platforms have options to leaving floating point support out of printf.

Do you mean - nothing at all is printed;
- surrounding text is printed but the floating point value isn't;
- the wrong value is printed.
We can't help you if we don't know what is happening.
I second Banfa's request, we will have a better idea what is going on if you gave us a code snippet -- just the printf call and the types of all variables used in it.

Are you using a double or float to declare the real number? They are different sizes in C/C++.
In the past, I found that %f would work for float but not for double. For double I had to use %lf.

No that's wrong, in the absence of a prototyped parameter (such as the printf varidac function declaration) floats are automatically promoted to double for parameter passing (same as shorts and chars are promoted to int). %f is for double, %Lf is for long double.
In this instance printf and scanf format specifiers differ because for scanf %f is for float, %lf for double and %Lf for long double.
Thanks. I am using float only, not double.

Are you still having trouble with this? If so, please post a relevant code snippet that shows your call to printf and the types of all arguments passed to printf; and describe the result you see and how it differs from what you expect.
Thanks for help. actually I moved all floats to int, earlier I thought I need float, but most of ADC readings are integers, then when I double and do average and do square-root also it is integers.

I'm trying to find a way to format a FLOAT variable into a varchar in
SQL Server 2000 but using CAST/CONVERT I can only get scientific
notation i.e. 1e+006 instead of 1000000 which isn't really what I
wanted.
Preferably the varchar would display the number to 2 decimal places
but I'd settle for integers only as this conversion isn't business
critical and is a nice to have for background information.

Hullo all !
i have a real easy one here that isn't in my book.
i have a int number that i want to divide by 100 and display to two
decimal places.
like this float(int(Var)/100)
but i need it to display the .00 even if it does not have a .00 value
like this
if Var is 50, i need to display .50 instead of just .5

Hi!
Let's see, we got:
float var=4.6f; //as we know 414/4.6 shoud be equal to 90
but Math.Ceiling(414/var) gives us 91
but (414/var).ToString() prints '90'.

I tell him he should do a casting to float/double before you do any

I confused when I try to do some integer constant division,
I know I should do float division something like 3.0/6.0,
but I'm still confused where the -0.124709 comes for the following...

I'm still pretty new to Python. I'm writing a function that accepts
thre integers as arguments. I need to divide the first integer by te
second integer, and get a float as a result. I don't want the caller of
the function to have to pass floats instead of integers. How do I
convert the arguments passed to the function into floats before I do
the division? Is this necessary, or is their a better way?
Thanks,

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...
