| Printf not printing floating point numbers correctly. |
 Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 7:54 am |

|
| I am using printf in a function off main to printf a floating point variable. This does not work work correctly and always prints the variable as 0.00. If I insert a line into the main function to printf a floating point variable this then works and also makes the printf in the other function work correctly. Any ideas what the problem is? Is this a compiler bug? |

Sounds like you have a 'local' variable in the printf function and not a 'global' one.
We'd need to see your code to be sure.
You could look at any of the examples that CCS supplies in the 'examples' folder to see how it can be done.... |

Thanks for the repsonse.
I am using this line in a function to print a value:
printf("tempf= %f",tempf);
The variable is defined in the function thus: float tempf;
This will not print the varaible correctly until I add a line such as this to the main function: printf("Hello %lf",1.0f);
A strange problem..! |

Send us a whole compilable program that shows the problem, preferably a very short one. Also tell us your compiler version.

According to temtronic it would be best if you send your code.
however you be sure that all variables you using for your formular are globally declared as float or if you are simply wanting to display an integer as float e.g you want display 12 as 12.00
first store 12 in a float type variable and display using the printf format. see below
float newby = 12.00 (instead of 12)
.
.
.
.
printf(lcd_putc "\f%2.2f", newby)
.
.
} |

All,
I am having the exact issue that CCS newby is having except that putting a print in main doesn't get me out of it, but insertion of a print in another function does.
I even tried the following:
| Code: |
temp = adc_sample(i);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",5.27);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
temp = 1.234;
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
|
and all printed 0.000.
When I inserted a printf elsewhere in the program, it works perfectly.
There is some sort of compiler bug, I think.
I'll submit the entire code post if requested. |

| I also managed to get rid of the issue by putting more spaces before the %f in between the quotes on the relevant printfs. |

But what PIC are you using ? No one in this thread has ever stated
what PIC they are using. |

I made a test program and it works fine. I ran it in MPLAB simulator
(MPLAB vs. 8.70) and compiled it with CCS compiler vs. 4.122.
Here's the result in the Output Window:
| Quote: |
PV: ADC: 5.67
PV: ADC: 5.27
PV: ADC: 5.67
PV: ADC: 1.23
|
I also ran it in hardware with a 16F887 on a PicDem2-Plus board and
got the same result. I only changed the '\r' at the end of each line
into "\n\r" so it would go to a newline in the TeraTerm window.
Here's the test program:
| Code: |
#include <16F887.H>
#FUSES INTRC,NOWDT,PUT,MCLR,NOPROTECT,NOCPD,BROWNOUT,NOIESO,NOFCMEN,NOLVP
#use delay(clock = 4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)
float adc_sample(int8 ch)
{
return(5.678);
}
//======================================
void main()
{
int8 i;
float temp;
i = 0;
temp = adc_sample(i);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",5.27);
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
temp = 1.234;
printf(" PV: ADC: %f\r",temp);
while(1);
} |

i can make it work too...if I add another printf in a completely different routine.
Here's the complete code file. It should work as-is, but fail if the printf (search for CCSINFO) is commented out.

This is too much code and it's too convoluted for me.
I did notice one thing. Here you've declared an array of pointers to chars
but you use it as an ordinary array of characters. You should remove the *.

} user_input;
c=getc();

Did you build it and see if it does what I said it does?
I could strip it down, but then the issue probably will submerge.
The fact remains that with this code NO printf prints floats correctly. Comment out the line labeled CCSINFO and you should see it....
Not that it's relevant, but but the line input works...so I don't see how the usage could be off.... |
