loss of precision while using CString Format function

Hi,

iam facing issues with loss of precision when using CString's Format function, heres a code snippet.

Code:

---

double func(double dvar)
{
        return dvar*0.00277777778;
}
//code
        CString tempStr;
        double var = func(10);        //var is 0.0277777778
        tempStr.Format("%G",var);        //tempStr is 0.0277778

---

How do i prevent this loss of precision?

thanks in advance

Looks like the format string is identical to the one taken by sprintf()----so read up on it:

Pay particular attention to the precision argument.

You should also be aware that 18 digits is enough to fully reconstruct the binary value of any double-precision number. Anything less is likely to represent a slightly different number when converted from a string back to a double, although the distinction may be dwarfed by normal floating point error.
