MATLAB: Using sprintf (problem with integer)

sprintf

Hi to everybody, I have got a problem using sprintf. I'm using it for doing the following operation:
 step_value=sprintf('step%d',steps(i)*100);
..where "steps" is a simple array containing numbers with two decimals. The problem is that at i=9 I get:
steps(9)*100
ans = 55.0000
sprintf('%d',ans)
ans= 5.500000e+01
…which is not clearly in integer notation. I don't have problems for the other i-elements, just for i=9.
Someone knows what is it the problem? Thanks 🙂
