How to use sprintf In C++

By specifying the precision in sprintf, we can convert double to string or character array with custom precision. We can use sprintf to add extra text (as required) to the string at the same time.

C++




// C++ Program to demonstrate Double to
// String Conversion using sprintf
  
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#define Max_Digits 10
using namespace std;
  
int main()
{
    double N = 1243.3456;
    char str[Max_Digits + sizeof(char)];
    std::sprintf(str, "%f", N);
    std::printf("string is: %s \n", str);
  
    return 0;
}


Output

string is: 1243.345600 

C++ Program For Double to String Conversion

Here, we will build a C++ program for double to string conversion using various methods i.e.

  1. Using to_string
  2. Using stringstream
  3. Using sprintf
  4. Using lexical_cast

We will keep the same input in all the mentioned approaches and get an output accordingly.

Input:

n = 456321.7651234 

Output: 

string: 456321.7651234

1. Using to_string

In C++, use std::to string to convert a double to a string. The required parameter is a double value, and a string object containing the double value as a sequence of characters is returned....

2. Using stringstream

3. Using sprintf

A double can also be converted into a string in C++ in different ways depending on our requirements using ostringstream....

4. Using lexical_cast
