可能有好多人,包括C语言老手都不知道如何将float数据转换为string,我就是这样,今天查了一下MSDN,才知道C提供了_gcvt函数实现这个功能,收获着实不小,为了方便自己查询,也为了那些像我这样的网友能够了解该函数的具体用法,我把MSDN的原文原封不动抄录如下:
_gcvt
Converts a floating-point value to a string, which it stores in a buffer.
char *_gcvt( double value, int digits, char *buffer );
Routine | Required Header | Compatibility |
_gcvt | <stdlib.h> | Win 95, Win NT |
For additional compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.
Libraries
LIBC.LIB | Single thread static library, retail version |
LIBCMT.LIB | Multithread static library, retail version |
MSVCRT.LIB | Import library for MSVCRT.DLL, retail version |
Return Value
_gcvt returns a pointer to the string of digits. There is no error return.
Parameters
value
Value to be converted
digits
Number of significant digits stored
buffer
Storage location for result
Remarks
The _gcvt function converts a floating-point value to a character string (which includes a decimal point and a possible sign byte) and stores the string in buffer. The buffer should be large enough to accommodate the converted value plus a terminating null character, which is appended automatically. If a buffer size of digits + 1 is used, the function overwrites the end of the buffer. This is because the converted string includes a decimal point and can contain sign and exponent information. There is no provision for overflow. _gcvt attempts to produce digits digits in decimal format. If it cannot, it produces digits digits in exponential format. Trailing zeros may be suppressed in the conversion.
Example
/* _GCVT.C: This program converts -3.1415e5
* to its string representation.
*/
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void main( void )
{
char buffer[50];
double source = -3.1415e5;
_gcvt( source, 7, buffer );
printf( "source: %f buffer: '%s'/n", source, buffer );
_gcvt( source, 7, buffer );
printf( "source: %e buffer: '%s'/n", source, buffer );
}
Output
source: -314150.000000 buffer: '-314150.'
source: -3.141500e+005 buffer: '-314150.'
