Try this one:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  float  f = 3.14159;           /* i'm not sure about the right value */
  double d = 3.1415926543;      /* i'm not sure about the right value */
  char   sf[256];               /* this should be enough */
  char   sd[256];               /* this should be enough */

  sprintf(sf,"%.6f",f);
  sprintf(sd,"%.8lf",d);

  printf("\nresult is: %.6f = '%s' , %.8lf = '%s'\n",f,sf,d,sd);

  return 0;
}

result is: 3.141590 = '3.141590' , 3.14159265 = '3.14159265'
