Double to Const Char*

How can I convert a double into a const char, and then convert it back into a double?

I'm wanting to开发者_开发知识库 convert the double to a string, to write it to a file via fputs, and then when I read the file, it will need to be converted back into a double.

I'm using Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition.

If you just want to write the double values to file, you can simply write it, without converting them into const char*. Converting them into const char* is overkill.

Just use std::ofstream as:

 std::ofstream file("output.txt")'

 double d = 1.989089;

 file << d ; // d goes to the file!

 file.close(); //done!

Since you added C++ to your tags, I suggest you use std::stringstream:

#include <sstream>

stringstream ss;
ss << myDouble;
const char* str = ss.str().c_str();
ss >> myOtherDouble;

You can use these functions to convert to and from:

template <class T>
bool convertFromStr(string &str, T *var) {
  istringstream ss(str);
  return (ss >> *var);
}

template <class T>
string convertToStr(T *var) {
  ostringstream ss;
  ss << *var;
  return ss.str();
}

Example:

double d = 1.234567;
string str = convertToStr<double>(&d);
cout << str << endl;
double d2;
convertFromStr<double>(str, &d2);
cout << d2 << endl;

Use this funcition :

const char* ConvertDoubleToString(double value){
    std::stringstream ss ;
    ss << value;
    const char* str = ss.str().c_str();
    return str;
}
