VARIABLE TYPE CONVERTION PROBLEM

Raul Comer

I AM GETTING SOME DATA FROM TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

IT IS A DOUBLE DATA TYPE. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE IT TO LONG OR INT DATA. AND JUST KEEP THE INTEGER PARTS.

    1. Disable your CAPS LOCK!
    2. Yes. If you really get the value as a Keil-supported floating point value then you should need only cast the float type to an int type. E.g.

    float        tempSensorValue = readTempSensor() /* ??? */;
int          integer         = (int) tempSensorValue;
unsigned int fraction        = (unsigned int) (1000 * (tempSensorValue - integer));

printf("Result is %d.%u\n", integer, fraction);
    What temperature sensor gives you floating point values? Do you really mean an ASCII string that looks like a floating point number?

    Hi ry uran,
    may i know whether you are using C51/8051 for your programming? Because I am doing a temperature sensor but using 8051 micro-controller.
