Hi,
I am trying to read a set of numbers that are in scientific notation into a file so I can do some math on them, but when I display the array contents the numbers aren't the same as the numbers in the file.
Could someone explain why? Thanks.
int main()
{
double fArray[36];
int i=0;
FILE *fptr;
fptr = fopen ("C:\\temp.txt", "r");
if (fptr == NULL)
printf ("Can't Find File to open\n");
else
{
for (i=0; i <= 36; i++)
{
while (fscanf(fptr, "%lf", &fArray) != EOF);
printf ("%e\n", &fArray);
}
}
return 0;
}
