Hi everyone!

Please can somebody stop my heartache...

How do you convert a double type to a 32-bit character string (a LPSTR), without losing any data?

I can do this by using 'sizeof' but too much data is lost!

Here is my warning...

warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'double' to 'char', possible loss of data
 
Take a look at _gcvt(), _ecvt() and _fcvt().

Hope this helps
