problems using pow() in sprintf()
Author
ok i have the following lines (well at least thats all you have to worry about) and for some reason this inserts a 0 after the | not pow(temp_left,temp_right)
here it is:
char Temp_Char[50];
sprintf(Temp_Char, "%d\0", pow(temp_left,temp_right));
reader.insert(reader.find("|",0)+1,Temp_Char);
couple other things you migh want to know, temp_left ^ temp_right = 4
reader is a valid string, and i have include the math.h
thanks for the help[smile]

thats alot the problem was the \0 i dont know what it was doing i dont know much about sprintf but i changed the "%d" to "%f" and now i get the right answer (4) but i also get six zeros after that. Is there a way to trim the zeros?

No, the \0 was simply redundant, as "%d" already is {'%', 'd', '\0'}. The problem really was that you used %d instead of %f, so printf expected an int and not a float. Variadic functions do not do type conversions, so it just took the bits of the 4.0 float value and reinterpreted them as an int
And, yes, there is a way to trim the zeros, but no, I am not going to tell you here, because you'll be much, much better served by reading the printf format string documentation and by figuring out the logic of it yourself.
