    <p>I'm new to C and I was doing okay in my class(online) until the last couple of programs. They're getting more complicated and I'm not much of a strategist. But, I'm trying and I'm frustrated. </p> <p>I've been working on this one for a while (it's past due) and my ulimate goal is to convert a number into words for a paycheck. </p> <p>What I'm trying to do here is convert the double value to an int and put the int into a char array, so that eventually the "array amount" will read (if pay was $1234.56) 001234. Then I was thinking that I could do ifs or cases for each position (hundThous = 0, tenThous = 0, Thous = 1, etc..) to convert it. I'm getting stuck here, though and need help. </p> <p>How do I put the value 1234 into the char array?</p> <p>Also, in the function above, I called "checkWriter(money);" , where money is the double. Is that correct? I just want it to call this function to print the converted double to words.</p> <pre><code> void checkWriter(double z) { double v; int w, y, cents; int b, c, x, length; char array[SIZE]; char amount[SIZE]; /*size = 7, our largest value will be in the hundred thousands*/ v = 100 * z; /*make z a whole number*/ w = ((int)v); /*convert z to an integer w*/ cents = w % 100; /*cents equals the remainder of w/100*/ y = (w - cents)/100; /*y equals the converted integer minus cents, divided by 100*/ sprintf(array, "%-6d", y); /* ATTEMPTING TO PUT y INTO array (saw this on google) */ printf("%s\n\n", array); /* Just wanted to see if it worked. It didn't. I got -2big number.*/ length = strnlen(array); /*find length of the value in array*/ array[length] = '\0'; /* affix terminating null character to array */ b = SIZE - length - 1; /* b is amount of zeroes needed */ for(c = 0; c &lt; length - 1; c++) { /* loops, plugging zeroes in amount until b=c, then attaches array to amount */ if(b == c) { amount[c] = '\0'; strcat(amount, array); } else { amount[c] = '0'; } } printf("%s\n\n", amount); /* Checking to see if it worked. Nope. All zeroes. And sometimes extra symbols at the end*/ return; } </code></pre> <p>Would really appreciate help. Thank you!!! </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
