Floating variables

[Granger9]

When ever I print a varible which is a float it always comes up with somthing like 5.5000000 is there a way to get rid of the zeros!!!

Yup!

printf("%.2f", answer);

Limits the answer to 2 places after the decimal point.

Yeah thanks but there is a slight problem. I don't know how many figures are going to be behind the decimal place (eg. the answer could be 5, 5.2, 5.6545, 5.364 etc.) so is there a way just to take off the useless and annoying zeros (eg. instead of having 5.3640000 have 5.364)????

Thanks

Try %g.

printf("%g", answer);
