Type Casting
August 19, 2002 05:53 PM
Hey!
Is it possible to change an integer, 365, to a char*? If so, how do you do it? I''ve tried to do it with a regular type cast but it doesn''t seem to work very well.
Thanks,
Voytek

try itoa. here''s an example:
Hope this helps!
------------------------------
BASIC programmers don''t die, they just GOSUB and don''t return.
#include <iostream>#include <cstdlib>// the prototype for itoa is: char* itoa(int value, char* buffer, int radix);// value is the value to convert, buffer is where the string is stored// radix is the base of the number system you want to use for the conversion// eg. 10 for base 10 (decimal), 16 for base 16(hex), 2 for base 2 (binary)int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ int num = 365; char str[4]; itoa(num, str, 10); cout << "num: " << num << " str: " << str << endl; system("pause"); return 0;} Hope this helps!

Thanks! Works perfectly. 
One more question...
Is there any way I can put that string of numbers into a new string? I have a function that only accepts one string and I would have to put "NUMBER OF SECONDS: " with the 365. How would I do that?

Follow Invader X''s advice and lookup sprintf

there is also the stringstream route of conversion, but the former is usually less hassle

+ imho you should know the basic string functions:
strcmp (and its derivs)
strcat
strcpy
etc...
Good Luck

To give yourself the best chance of getting a good answer on these forums, always state which programming language you are using. You wouldn''t want someone to get confused and give you an answer using PL/I, would you (or maybe you would)?
