convert double to string to double

[magic]

Is there a preset library to
convert from double to string and
convert from string to double

[Stefan Pendl]

You would use sprintf to convert from a number to a string and any of the ato... or strto... functions to convert from string to number.

could you give me sample how to  use sprintf(). The documentation is quite difficult for me to understand without sample.
Say, I want to convert a double number into a string.:

Code Select Expand


        double myDOUBLE=123.456;
char* mySTRING=GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED,64);     //alocate string in memory
_strnset(mySTRING,0,1);                                   //initilize mySTRINGto ""
int sprintf(testing,myDOUBLE%???);                     //I can't really understand how to format it

Here are two examples

Example 1

Code Select Expand



#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  double myDOUBLE=123.456;
  char* mySTRING=GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED,64);     //allocate string in memory
  _strnset(mySTRING,0,1);                        //initilize mySTRINGto ""
  int i;
 
  i = sprintf(mySTRING, "%G", myDOUBLE);
  printf("123.456 as a string is %s\n", mySTRING);
  printf("sprintf returns: %d\n\n", i);

  return 0;
}



Example 2

Code Select Expand



#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  double dub1 = 123.456;
  char str1[10];
  int i;
 
  i = sprintf(str1, "%G", dub1);
  printf("123.456 as a string is %s\n", str1);
  printf("sprintf returns: %d\n\n", i);

  return 0;
}



I hope this helps.
