You need to do a string conversion, just like you would in any situation where 
you need a textual version of a number.

One possible way:

        NSString* s = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%.1f", fv];
        const char* sp = s.UTF8String;

another:

        char* s[16];
        snprintf(s, 16, "%.1f", fv);
