Hello!

How can I convert floating point number to string without using FPU? I need only algorithm (but it's description must be written idiot-friendly). If anyone knows that, please answer...

/damn, my English is too bad, I know.../

There is no THAT simple way, sorry. you need to understand floating point number representation, bignum operations, etc. etc.

Before anyone posts this, I will post it: http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html

There is a word algorithm from one of my Professors (my favourite one to add):
http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~moshovos/ECE243-2008/l02-representations.html

There is a "word" algorithm towards the end of that lecture note.
