Thread: Double variable problem...

I need to send the variable (double) into the function as a char*

Code:

void changecolor(char* word, int color){
	textcolor(color); 		 //changes text to the color given through the argument
	cprintf("%s", word);	   	    //outputs the string in the given color
	textcolor(LIGHTGRAY);	 //change color back to the default light gray
} //end void changecolor

tried this:

Code:

  char* mon;
  mon = (char)monthly_interest;
	changecolor(mon, color);

monthly_interest is a double?? why? what did I go wrong? thanks!
