Rounding Float- Return not happening ?

i wanted to Round off Float value,but the correct computed value is not returning to calling Function .
i have following functions .
init -- which calls 'compare' function.
compare - which will call rounding function .
My issue was when i call "compare" function the return value from "Round_Float" function is not visible in "compare" function .


here is code ..

Code:

---

float  Util_Round_Float(float  data, unsigned int aft_dec_digits )
{
    float              sign = 1.0; 
    unsigned int      index = 0;     
    unsigned int      local_var = 1;   
    unsigned int      temp_var = 0;   
    float            output = 0.0;
    float              X = 0;
     
    ..................
    ..................
    X = sign * output;
    return( X );
}
 

float Util_Float_Abs( float data )
{
    float    ret_value = 0.0;
 
    if( data > 0.0 )
    {
        ret_value = data;
    }
    else
    {
        ret_value = ( data * ( -1 ));
    }
    return( ret_value );
}

void init ()
{
  float value = 12.5;
  compare (value);
}

void Compare( float  Ratetype )
{
   
  Ratetype = (float )Util_Round_Float( Ratetype, 5 );
}

---

when i debug "RoundFloat" function i am getting correct valuve.but the value returns to "compare" function it is not correct.
is it becoz the return valve of "Util_Round_Float" is a local ??

Add a main() and some test code which we can compile and run "as is", rather than having to guess at what you might have done.

Also, state your OS and compiler (with versions where appropriate)

Code:

---

void Compare( float  Ratetype )
{
   
  Ratetype = (float )Util_Round_Float( Ratetype, 5 );
}

---

Well, your Compare() function doesn't return any value so that's probably why no return is happening?

Here is the code to compile/check .

Code:

---

float Util_Float_Abs( float data )
{
    float    ret_value = 0.0;
       
    if( data > 0.0 )
    {
        ret_value = data;
    }
    else
    {
        ret_value = ( data * ( -1 ));
    }
    return( ret_value );
}
--------------
float Util_Round_Float(float data, unsigned int aft_dec_digits )
{
    float            sign = 1.0;   
    unsigned int      index = 0;     
    unsigned int      local_var = 1;   
    unsigned int      temp_var = 0;   
    float            output = 0.0;
    float            X = 0;
   

    /* Calculate the number of decimal places multiplied by 10 */
    for( index = 0; index < aft_dec_digits; index++ )
    {
        local_var = ( local_var * 10 );
    }
    if( data < 0.0 )
    {
        sign = -1.0;
    }
    /* Move the decimal point in the input argument number of places to the
      right */
    output = ( Util_Float_Abs( data ) * local_var );

    /* Adding 0.5 to the temporary value to round it off */
    temp_var = ( unsigned int )( output + 0.5 );

    /* Calculate the output which is rounded off to the input number of
    significant digits */
    output = (FLOAT32)( temp_var ) / local_var ;
    X = sign * output;
    return( X );
}

---------------------
int main ()
{
  float value = 12.5;
  compare (value);
  return 0;
}

flaot Compare( float  Ratetype )
{
  float Ratetype1; 
  float dummy = 12.5;
  Ratetype1 = (float )Util_Round_Float( Ratetype, 5 );

    if (dummy == Ratetype1)
      printf("  Floating point comparision");
}
-----------------------------

when i check the value of Ratetype1 in "compare" function it is returing 5 instead of 12.5 .
why is 12.5 not returning ?

OS : Windows
Compiler : Green Hill

what you posted is not what you are compiling. please post the code you are compiling

what you posted will not compile because you define

Code:

---

Compare(float)

---

but call

Code:

---

compare(float)

---

when i correct that and compile the code you posted,

Code:

---

Util_Round_Float(Ratetype, 5);

---

does return 12.5

also, its obvious you are not compiling this code since you have lines of '-' characters in there

> flaot Compare( float Ratetype )
Not to mention, typo's
