newbie array question

I think I am having trouble converting a floating number into a character array. Can someone please help me with fixing the line I have commented. Thankyou. :)

Code:

---

float top;
char price[5];

printf("Enter top price");
scanf("%f", &top);

price = top;  // this line is probably wrong

printf(price[0]);
printf(price[1]);
printf(price[2]);
printf(price[3]);
printf(price[4]);

Use sprintf.

Code:

---

printf(price[0]);
printf(price[1]);
printf(price[2]);
printf(price[3]);
printf(price[4]);

Those are all wrong also. The first argument to printf() needs to be a string, not a character.

Code:

---


float top;
float price[5];

printf("Enter top price");
for(int i=0;i<5;i++){

scanf("%f",&top);
 price[i]=top;
  printf("%f",price[i]);

I hope this helps!
