hi all,

I have a project in which i have to dynamically display numbers on
LCD by taking input from the user, i have done it for integers, can any
one guide me how do i implement the same for decimal numbers
Thanx

Just use fixed point notation and plot a "." in the right place. For
example, a decimal number 10.123 will be stored as 10123. All math will
work exactly the same way you know (you will only have to check you
variable limits to avoid overflows).

ya dats true but hw do i scan if a decimal point is present or not;

this is the code for integers as per my requirements:
#include "LCD.h"
#include "msp430xG46x.h"
#include "stdio.h"

const int charseg[]=
{
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_C+LCD_D+LCD_E+LCD_F, // '0' or 'O'
LCD_B+LCD_C, // '1' or 'I'
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_D+LCD_E+LCD_G, // '2' or 'Z'
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_C+LCD_D+LCD_G, // '3'
LCD_B+LCD_C+LCD_F+LCD_G, // '4' or 'y'
LCD_A+LCD_C+LCD_D+LCD_F+LCD_G, // '5' or 'S'
LCD_A+LCD_C+LCD_D+LCD_E+LCD_F+LCD_G, // '6' or 'b'
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_C, // '7'
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_C+LCD_D+LCD_E+LCD_F+LCD_G, // '8' or 'B'
LCD_A+LCD_B+LCD_C+LCD_F+LCD_G // '9' or 'g'

};

void disp(long int num)
{
int pos=0, index;
long int x;

if(num>18888888)
{
LCDM7=LCD_A+LCD_D+LCD_E+LCD_F+LCD_G;
LCDM6=LCD_E+LCD_G;
LCDM5=LCD_E+LCD_G;
}
else if(num>9999999)
{

LCDMEM[12]|=LCD_D;

x=num-10000000;

do
{
index=x%10;
LCDMEM[pos+LCD_MEM_OFFSET]=charseg[index];
pos++;
x=x/10;
}while(x!=0);
}

else
{

x=num;

do
{
index=x%10;
LCDMEM[pos+LCD_MEM_OFFSET]=charseg[index];
pos++;
x=x/10;
}while(x!=0);

}

}
void main(void)
{
int i;
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop WDT

FLL_CTL0 |= XCAP14PF; // Configure load caps

P5SEL = 0x1C; // P5.2/3/4 = LCD COM lines
for (i = 19; i > 0; i--) LCDMEM[i] = 0; // Clear LCD
LCDACTL = LCDON + LCD4MUX + LCDFREQ_128; // 4mux LCD, ACLK/128
LCDAPCTL0 = 0x7E; // Segments 4-27

disp(18283848);

}

With fixed-point arithmetic you know where it is.
