Conversion of a long!

[MrSkywalker]

How can I convert a long to a string that represents the number in th IEEE language.


Thanks alot in advanced.

can't you just do

string var;
long x=100;
var ="x";

can't you just do

string var;
long x=100;
var ="x";

Where did you get that? You would end up with a string that holds "x" not "100".

What is the IEEE Language?

There are IEEE defined standard representation for floating point numbers, but not longs.

What is the IEEE Language?

He probably meant IEEE standard, not language...

[MrSkywalker]

Exactly...!!!

It's not a language, I ment a standar for The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

By the way in VB I use this dll, QPRO32.DLL. However, I thik there should be a way to do this in c++ with out using this dll.

Did you read FAQs suggested by Ejaz?

What they're trying to say is that there isn't a standard IEEE format for displaying a long integer. You might be confused with IEEE floating-point format, which defines how a floating-point quantity is stored as binary data.

[MrSkywalker]

Exactly!

Do you have something that could help me out?

Thanks a lot.

I'm still confused as to what you are looking for, but if you just want the representation of floating point, see here:

No, we don't. You said that you wanted to know how to print an unsigned long in standard IEEE format. This format does not exist. What do you need then?
