Hi,
I have a script that generates numbers beyond the range of it, and so it's
throwing them out as scientfic notation (e.g. 5E+10 instead of
50,000,000,000) . The only way I've found of avoiding this is by using bc*()
functions in place of normal operators (e.g. bcmul() instead of '*').
Surely there's a way to simply convert a number in scientific notation into
a normal integer ?
Regards,
Chris 2 8069
This is what I use to convert float|real|doub le values into display format:
$float = sprintf('%f', $fieldvalue);
$integer = sprintf('%d', $fieldvalue);
if ($float == $integer) {
// this is a whole number, so remove all decimals
$output = $integer;
} else {
// remove trailing zeroes from the decimal portion
$output = rtrim($float,'0 ');
} // if
HTH.

That works brilliantly, thankyou !

I am using the std::setprecision function to format variables of type
double in a string however I am unsure how to stop this appearing in

For example

Well, the project I am working on has now come to a screeching halt! I
have been developing a program that heavily utilizes ADO.NET record

apply an XSLT to transform the XML into HTML. This works great (or
did) until today. I just found out that the "number-format" command in
XSLT can't handle scientific notation! So when I try to format these
numbers I just get "NaN" on...

Hi,
I saw this post from 3 years ago regarding converting DOUBLE values to
CHAR in ibm DB2. Now I'm having the same problem. No real solution
was posted to that old thread. Has anyone got more information how I
avoid the scientific notation when I use the CHAR() function to
convert a DOUBLE or FLOAT ? What I want is "MagicFunction" in the
following pseudocode:
myVarchar = MagicFunction(123.0003);

Hi all,
Math is not my strongest area so forgive me if I use some of the wrong
terminology.
It seems that scientific notation is immune to rounding errors. For
example:
(4.98 * 100) + 5.51 // returns 503.51000000000005, rounding error!
4.98e2 + 5.51 // returns 503.51, correct!

I have a DataSet that contains a table with about 6 columns of high accuracy
decimal values. When I try to write out the DataSet using the WriteXML()
function the XML is written fine, but the decimal values are written out in
scientific notation ("9.984348392E+08"). This wouldn't be a problem except
when I try to READ the XML file back into a DataSet I keep getting a
System.FormatException saying "Input string was not in a correct format."...

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple way to convert a Double to a String exactly
the .ToString() does, except these two differences:
- the number of decimals is given (rounding is applied if
necessary), and
- trailing zeroes are kept.
This means I need it to be converted using the scientific notation if
the number is greater than a certain value etc., not just a simple
"this number of digits (or more if needed) before the decimal point

I'm converting some old C code to C++. Although I'm not concerned
about converting every C item to C++ I'm in a situation in which using
an ostringstream makes more sense than using sprintf. Here's my

either wanted scientific notation or a simple floating point,
whichever is smaller. Is there a way to do that using an
