If you were going the other way, it might be more of a challenge, but
sprintf will probably do what you're asking.  The following code is
not guaranteed to run or even compile, but you get the idea.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main (void)
{
  /* declare my vars */
  float myFloat = 1.23456f;
  char myString[1000];

  /* do conversion */
  sprintf (myString, "%f",myFloat);
  
  /* dump output */
  puts (myString);

  return 0;
}

Thanks
