‘sprintf’: double precision in C

From your question it seems like you are using C99, as you have used %lf for double.

To achieve the desired output replace:

sprintf(aa, "%lf", a);

with

sprintf(aa, "%0.7f", a);

The general syntax "%A.B" means to use B digits after decimal point. The meaning of the A is more complicated, but can be read about here.
