How can we manage a 64 bits integer number to convert it to ASCCII value for LCD display. Does SPRINTF work with 'double' data type reguards.
Does SPRINTF work with 'double' data type Please read the manual! (jst clik on SPRINTF in your code & press F1!) No, because C51 does not have a 'double' data type! But do you really need it in an arithmetic data type? ie, do you actually need to do any maths with it? If it's just an ID number, presumably not; so why not just store it as a string? As you're comtemplating sprintf, I assume you're not tight on space? But if you are, could you store it in a BCD format; 2 decimal digits to each byte?
How about this method. You will need to define an array of 38 elements. Each element is an unsigned long. Each element n is initialised to 2 to the power of n+1 and uses BCD representation.
= { 0x00000001, 0x00000002, 0x00000004, 0x00000008, 0x00000016, 0x00000032....etc. }
Out of curiosity I came up with the following code to convert n binary digits to m decimal digits. This is the essence of a solution which may be readily adapted to your specific needs. The code includes a number of test examples. It compiles to reasonably efficient code, although making use of memory specific pointers would be much better than generic pointers.
