    sprintf() or one of the stream members, eg...

    Code:
    float X;
    char Buffer[10];
    
    X = 5.7;
    sprintf(Buffer, "%f", X);

    How would you solve it using one of the stream members ?

    lol thats actually very clever, sprintf prints the double into a string (buffer) so that it goes in looking just like it would if you cout<<'d it. At least thats how I understand it.

    Compile the code and see for yourself.

    >>> How would you solve it using one of the stream members ?

    Like that...
    Code:
    #include <strstream>
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        float X;
        char Buffer[10];
        ostrstream OutStr(Buffer, sizeof(Buffer));
    
        X = 5.7;
        OutStr << X << ends;
        cout << Buffer << endl;
        return 0;
    }
