How to simply convert a float to a string in c?

The second parameter is the format string after which the format arguments follow:

fprintf(fPointer, "%f", amount);

%f tells fprintf to write this argument (amount) as string representation of the float value.

A list of possible format specifiers can (for example) be found here.
