Due to the way the floating point registers work on a PDP-7, in C all 32-bit float values are promoted to 64-bit double values when used in a var-arg. Hence, for output, "%f" can be safely used for both 32-bit and 64-bit floating point values. The tags "%f" and "%lf" are the same. (This isn't true for input functions such as scanf().) A favorite interview question is, given this line and no other information, how big must buf_size be to never clip the output? You can assume the default 1.6 precision ("%1.6f"). snprintf( buf, buf_size, "%f", v ); The answer? At least 318 characters. -j -- Jay A.
