    Lightbulb floats and strings

    Does anyone know of a way to convert a float into a string?

    e.g.

    float 1.23; BECOMES char Array[4] = "1.23";

    Something like -

    char Array[5];
    float a = 1.23F;
    sprintf(Array,"%g",a);

    itoa() is a non-standard function. sprintf() is standard and if you know how to use printf() then it is easy enough to use.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    Thanks Guys,

    My stdlib.h dosen't contain ltoa, ftoa, itoa etc. which is why I had the problem.

    sprintf() works fine.
