thanx :]

P.S. I have never writen one in my life so this is verry new to me I hope this isent too stuped of a question

It is hard to give an example without knowing what you are trying to do. Perhaps post what you have done, and we can comment.

First, it is printf, not printif as you had in your post.

ooo ya sory i'v been working on not dooing that :) I hate making spelling mistakes any whay her is the printf statment I have

int sprintf(buf, "%lf", long double);

i just whant it to be abil to show long double's
allso as I sead dose it matter where it is put in the code or can it be on any lign I want it to be on

It is hard to know where to start here. I suggest trying to learn C using a simpler program than a MUD server.

Major changes are required, something like this:





The nature of programming is such that the order of things is important. You put the line in the part of the code where you want the number to be converted to a string.

hay thanx this will help alot and I agree unfortunitly I have a one track minde and once I start somthing I cant stop ( I dident want to do the mud thing first my mom convinced me to and then I went all gung ho) but Ill try to do a simpole program if I get time and ill allso look for a good book on c but now I know that I cant just put the code any where so thanx :)
