I've used the following specifiers:
%f -- gives 5.000000
%.2g gives 5 ( g is the only one I know how to use to format decimal places)
Uhhh, why does C have to be a pain in the butthole?
It's reading the 5.5, but for some reason it's being truncated in the conversion:

%d is the format specifier to read an integer. So it will read only the integer part of the contents in text. You have to use something like %f or %lf. I dont know what is standard specific ( I thought lf was the correct one for double, but someone said above that it was wrong, but my MSVC compiler only reads double for the %lf specifier) . I also saw some suggestions for a double in the above replies of this thread. you can lookup them. Note:
English is not my first language. I dont know if being suggested to be a masochist is offending so much. But I know that being called an ******* is. I think that type of language is uncalled for. Think twice before posting things like that.

This was what I thought Salem meant when I saw his reply at first. Is this so much agitating to you?
Edit:
Okay. All is cool. I consider the original intent of this thread achieved.
