How to convert types:
Int64ToFloat64
Int64ToString
Float64ToInt64
Float64ToString
StringToInt64
StringToFloat64

Read many programing books !
Than you learn how do this.

1) Using functions like as sprintf
2) Or try writ code convert text number to int value in register EAX or RAX
3) search on internet examples

I found some conversions in internet but not all. It is faster then sprintf.

Some of these can be performed by a single instruction:

Int64ToFloat64
Code:
cvtsi2sd xmm0, rax  ; rax contains the int64, xmm0 will contain the float64    
Float64ToInt64
Code:
cvttsd2si rax, xmm0  ; xmm0 contains the float64, rax will contain the int64    

Some have legacy window functions (confusing naming without floating-point support):

StringToInt64 - SHLWAPI.wnsprintfA
Int64ToString - USER32.wsprintfA

All the operations can be performed by UCRT, but there is an abstraction layer.
MSVCRT doesn't have the abstraction layer - containing atof(), atol(), printf(), sprintf(), etc. functions.

There are conversion functions on this board as well. FPU

I have to find a conversions: string to double, double to string and int to string in x64...

Are you looking for the cutting edge AVX512, super optimized version or something? Or are you looking to learn about the IEEE floating point format. Int to string is trivial if coded for size:
Code:
virtual CONST.32 ; "base32hex", RFC 2938, Sec.3-1
        digit_table db '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV'
end virtual

align 16, codepad #
UINT64__Baseform:
; RAX: number to convert
; RCX: number base to use [2,32] radix
; RDI: string buffer of length [65,14] bytes
        push 0 ; sentinel
.A:     xor edx,edx
        div rcx
        push qword [digit_table+rdx] ; #32#
        test rax,rax
        jnz .A

.B:     pop rax
        stosb
        test al,al
        jnz .B
        retn

In windows there are many ways to convert double/float to string.

*oleaut32.VarBstrFromR8() supports the full range of the IEEE format - generating inf, nan and processing subnormals. (Not to mention the locale presentation of numbers - for those people that like to see 123,456 instead of 123.456.)

*Click the link for the dozens of conversion functions present in this library!

VarBstrFromR8 Unicode string.
And BSTR it is a COM object.

Wow !

I never used VarBstrFromR8.

Sound like as Bastard from reality number 8 Smile

The OLE stuff has it's place, but the overhead of that library is a little steep for one function. The function names can be misleading because they don't all produce VARIANT types - more like VARIANT support functions.

Here is another one - not meant to be the fastest - just get the job done:
Code:
align 16, codepad #
atoi64:
        xor     ecx, ecx
        cmp     byte [rdi], '-'
        setz    cl
        add     rdi, rcx
        bts     rcx, 63
        xor     eax, eax
        push    rdi
.read_digits:
        movzx   edx, byte [rdi]
        sub     edx, '0'
;       jc      .done
        cmp     edx, 10
        jnc     .done
        imul    rax, rax, 10
        jo      .overflow
        add     rax, rdx
        add     rdi, 1
        cmp     rax, rcx
        jc      .read_digits
.overflow:
        pop     rdi
        push    rdi
.done:
        jecxz   .positive ; note ECX!
        neg     rax
.positive:
        pop     rcx
        sub     ecx, edi
        retn
; ZF=1, RCX=0 on error
; RDI updated
; RAX signed-qword    
... it's 60 bytes. Razz

atou64() would just be a reduction of this function.
