The code is working fine, anyway it is not performing a conversion, it is interpreting the raw bits as a double.
You have the following string of bits (only the first two ints of the array matters):
1 2
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
as a double it is
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^
0 as sign (first bit on the left), i.e. positive number
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^---------^
0 as exponent with in excess -1023 representation represents denormals when fraction is <> 0
(as in your case).
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000010
^---------------------------------------------------------^
2^-20 + 2^-51 = 9,5367431685033920985006261616945e-7 as fraction
That gives, for a denormalized number
fraction * 2^-1021 = 4,2439915839068072135877506064327e-314

Thanks, anyway I'm quite sure there's some mistakes here and there...

Hmm, it seems I got my reply. I still have the problem but this makes me afford it in a wiser manner. Thanks so much.

What do you mean by "conversion doesn't work"? There's actually no conversion that I can see. If you were wanting to convert the individual int elements of your int array to double, you should do that 'manually'. If you were just intending to change the pointer type, then there shouldn't be any difficulty:
int nArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
double* pDouble = reinterpret_cast<double*>(nArray);
CString szStr;
szStr.Format(_T("%d %d"), *pDouble, *(pDouble+1));
AfxMessageBox(szStr);
Of course, I assume that you know what reinterpret_cast does.

Hi,
I am just trying to get a pointer to double from a pointer to int. That is what I mean by conversion. When you say 'manually' I actually dont know what you mean. I tried your code:
int nArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4};
double* pDouble = reinterpret_cast<double*>(nArray);
but when I try to get *(pDouble(+i)) value(s) (for i=0,1,2,3) don´t get the expected 1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0

Have a closer look:
1. nArray is a an array of integers - the elements stored in the array are of 'int' data type.
2. You create a pointer variable, which actually is supposed to point to a double, but you made it (you wanted that) to point to the beginning address of the integer array.
3. Now, it's just that the pointer type is double, but is pointing to an int array. You still have not converted the individual int elements in the array to double type.
4. If that's what you want, you can try %g in place of %d in the CString::Format() statement and see the results. (this way, you are just 'interpreting' an integer as a double, and you haven't converted any of the array elements from one datatype to another)
But please remember that the elements in the array are *still* int ones and if you want every element of the array to be of double data type, you must do the conversion yourself for every element of the array. Changing a pointer won't do that, quite obviously.
Am I clear enough?

Thank you very much.You both helped me to see my real problem.

Hi Jorge,
Why don't you use union?
For example you can take
union test
{
int a[4];
double c;
};
Do not trust a computer...
Always check what computer is doing

Hi Divyang,
thanks so much. That solves the problem but, I can not believe there´s no straight way to do it.

Hi ,
When i include any header file in a cpp file May i know why the syntax is #include "test.h" why not #include <test.h> .Please let me know the difference...

<> will search in the include search path.
"" will also search the current directory in addition to the include search path.

Hi all,
if i m using this code in Visual studio 2005 than its working fine but in case of visual studio 2008 its gives and exeception that is::
Unhandled exception at 0x755e21b3 in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000c.
code is like that,
SHELLEXECUTEINFOA TempInfo = {0};
TempInfo.cbSize = sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFOA);
TempInfo.fMask = 0;
TempInfo.hwnd = NULL;
TempInfo.lpVerb = "open";
TempInfo.lpFile = "calc.exe";
TempInfo.lpParameters = "";
TempInfo.lpDirectory = "";
TempInfo.nShow = SW_NORMAL;
BOOL tt= ::ShellExecuteExA(&TempInfo);
if(tt==TRUE)
{
AfxMessageBox("ShellExecute created successfully");
}
else
{
AfxMessageBox("ShellExecute not created");
}
please help me this.
thanks in advance.

In Mumbai, we step through the code with the debugger to resolve such issues (if I remember it right, they do the same at Rome, but I'll leave it to Carlo to confirm).

It's ok, but what do you do in Bangalore? (In Milan, I suppose, they ask to a Rome-based developer to do the job).

I suppose as long as someone uses the debugger, the job gets done.

i wrote the code below for a C++ programming class and i get a segmentation fault within this part of the code. now i asked my teacher and he told me that there's just a line in the wrong place but for the life of me i can't figure out which line is out of place. i thought i'd turn to some people with more experience with looking at code and finding the errors. it's really a simple problem i have i'm just not seeing it though.. please help me!
p.s. sorry if i posted the code the wrong way for the forum
void Search::Store(char *k, char *d) {
struct TBox *p1,*p2;
int i;
p1 = new TBox;
if (Start==NULL) {
p1->left = NULL;
p1->right = NULL;
p1->key = new char[strlen(k)+1];
p1->data = new char[strlen(d)+1];
strcpy(p1->key,k);
strcpy(p1->data,d);
Start=p1;
return;
p1=Start;
while(p1!=NULL) {
if ( (i=strcmp(k,p1->key)) == 0 ) {
delete [] p1->data;
p1->data = new char[strlen(d)+1];
strcpy(p1->data,d);
return;
}
if ( i < 0 ) {
p2=p1;
p1=p1->left;
continue;
}
p2=p1;
p1=p1->right;
}
}
p1 = new TBox;
p1->left = NULL;
p1->right = NULL;
p1->key = new char[strlen(k)+1];
p1->data = new char[strlen(d)+1];
strcpy(p1->key,k);
strcpy(p1->data,d);
Start=p1;
if (i<0) p2->left=p1;
else p2->right=p1;
return;
}
