integer to string in DAT section

Shawna

I would like to take a long variable and convert it into a string.

For instance if I have a value of 989, I would like to store it as a string in the dat section like this.

str byte " 98.9"

Is there an easy way to do this?

I can break the value down into whole numbers and decimals like this

temp := 989
tempDec     := temp // 10
tempWhole := temp / 10

Is there an easy way to do this?

The range is going to be +/- 200.0, so no matter what the value is I need to have 6 characters store in the dat section.


Thanks
Shawn

Take a look at the SimpleNumbers object in the Propeller library. IIRC, there's a number-to-string conversion method there.

Temp := 98.9

Temp would have to be a long but converting it to a few bytes can be done later
as long as the math is done correctly why not just do like that?

Temp := 98.9 would result in the following value being stored:

1120259277 (Decimal)
42C5CCCD (Hexadecimal)
01000010110001011100110011001101 (Binary)
