Converting long int to string problem
PostPosted: Tue Feb 24, 2004 4:08 pm     Reply with quote

I'm attempting to use "sprintf" to convert a long int to a string. Here is a segment of the code.

si_equiv = (long int)(125.0 * 16.018463);
sprintf(PR_SI_Units,"\%ld",si_equiv); // convert to string
printf("si equiv = %lu\n\r", si_equiv);
printf("si string = %s\n\r", PR_SI_Units);
printf("si float = %5.1f\n\r", atof(PR_SI_Units));


The output results are:

si equiv = 2002
si string = 002
si float = .0

I reviewed the sprintf function in the manual as well as past postings on this subject but I must be missing something. Could someone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks,
PCM programmer

Using PCM vs. 3.184, with the test program shown below, I got
these results:

si equiv = 2002
si string = 2002
si float = 2001.9
Code:
#include <16F877.h>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
#include <stdlib.h>
//===============================
main()
{
int16 si_equiv;
char PR_SI_Units[10];

si_equiv = (long int)(125.0 * 16.018463);
sprintf(PR_SI_Units,"\%ld",si_equiv); // convert to string
printf("si equiv = %lu\n\r", si_equiv);
printf("si string = %s\n\r", PR_SI_Units);
printf("si float = %5.1f\n\r", atof(PR_SI_Units));
while(1);
}

PCM Programmer,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using version 3.157 and a PIC18F6720. I attempted to run your code and I still receive the same results as before. It must be a compiler problem with the 3.157 version.
