Converting float to char*

Question

How can I convert a float value to char* in C language?

Answer 1

char buffer[64]; int ret = snprintf(buffer, sizeof buffer, "%f", myFloat);  if (ret < 0) {     return EXIT_FAILURE; } if (ret >= sizeof buffer) {     /* Result was truncated - resize the buffer and retry. } 

That will store the string representation of myFloat in myCharPointer. Make sure that the string is large enough to hold it, though.

snprintf is a better option than sprintf as it guarantees it will never write past the size of the buffer you supply in argument 2.

Answer 2

char array[10]; sprintf(array, "%f", 3.123);
