Subject: Floating Point with Lattice V3.03 - Question ?


     I am having a problem using the floating point
function with the Lattice Version 3.03 compiler on
my Amiga.  I don't know if the problem is in my code
or something else in the system.

     I have listed the sample program below and would
appreciate any help available to get me headed in the
right direction.

/* float2.c  test floating point in V3.03 */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
float f1;
char ans[50];
	printf("\nInput ascii to float value ");
	scanf("%s", ans);
        f1=atof(ans);
	printf("\n%g", f1);
	printf("\n%f", f1);
	printf("\n%e", f1);

 	printf("\nInput floating point value ");
	scanf("%f", f1);
	printf("\n%g", f1);
	printf("\n%f", f1);
	printf("\n%e\n", f1);
}
------------------------------
     The results in each case was some very
large number that appeared to be a constant.
I don't have the actual results with me at
the moment but the conversion didn't work
and I don't know what I am doing wrong.
   
Thanks for you help,

Norm
