I'm writing a program that takes in Floating Points and averages them for a CMSC class this weekend. My only problem seems to be the conversion of said floating poing values. When I run this little bit of code, all I ever get out is 41, no matter what I enter. Any help would be much appreicated. Thanks

LOCAL inString:DWORD
LOCAL newFP:QWORD
LOCAL answer1[20]:BYTE

mov [inString], input("Please Enter Value")
invoke StrToFloat, ADDR inString, ADDR newFP
invoke FloatToString, newFP, ADDR answer1
invoke StdOut, ADDR answer1

Hi there Joe! 

I'm not sure if you had a typo or not, but instead of using invoke FloatToString, why not try to use invoke FloatToStr or invoke FloatToStr2.

Example: invoke FloatToStr2, answer[source], ADDR buffer[destination]

LOCAL inString:DWORD
LOCAL newFP:QWORD
LOCAL answer1[20]:BYTE

mov [inString], input("Please Enter Value: ")
invoke StrToFloat, ADDR inString, ADDR newFP
invoke FloatToStr2, newFP, ADDR answer1
print addr answer1

I have attached a compile sample with the exact code as above. Thanks. Hope it works and you make it on time. :D
