Type casting

[Curtis Gilchrist]

I have a float value that I need to type cast into either a string or a
c-style string for painting in a window. I have racked my brain and
searched high and low for this and just cannot seem to find anything that
will work. I tried the reinterpret_cast, and it actually compiled but I got
a bunch of garbage. Can anyone shed light on this subject? Thanks in
advance...
