[C] double/float to string

[Alan]

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

[those who know me have no need of my name]

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