Printf and float ?
PostPosted: Wed Jan 22, 2003 3:17 pm     Reply with quote

Hello everybody,
Does anyone can help me with printf function with float value ?

My pb :

1) I would like to print float value with leading zeros
printf("\%05.1f",val);
the result is 23.7 with val = 23.7 and should be 023.7 ?
whats wrong ?

2) How can I force the sign with printf ?
printf("\%+05.1f",val); does'nt works ! why ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Xavier

------------------------------------------------------------

I used PCM vs. 3.136 to run the test program below,
and got the following results in the terminal window:

023.7

+023.7


#include "c:\program files\picc\devices\16F877.h"
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,PUT,BROWNOUT, NOLVP
#use Delay(clock=8000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
//===============================================
void main()
{
float val;

val = 23.7;

printf("\%05.1f\n\r",val);

printf("\n\r");

printf("+\%05.1f",val);

while(1);
}

In the last printf statement, I moved the "+" sign to
the beginning of the format string.

Hi,
Thanks for you help Smile
I used PCM vs. 3.118

val = 23.7;
printf("\%05.1f\n\r",val);
The result is 23.7 with no leading zeros ?!

val = -23.7
printf("+\%05.1f",val);
The result is +-23.7 with no leading zeros and sign pb ?!

The aim is to format the result like
+002.1 if val=2.1
+279,5 if val=279.5
-123.4 if val=-123.4
-025.9 if vzl=-25.9

Any ideas ?

PS : how to purchase free upgrade of PCM ?

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Xavier

Yes. This has been a running problem with CCS's printf. I am glad to see that it has now been fixed.
The solution on older compilers, is to 'bodge' it, by using sprintf to send the characters to a text buffer, and then add the zeros yourself. :-(

Best Wishes

Here's a post that will help him use the sprintf method.
