Hi, I am working on a SDL game engine and it is going very well, except one problem. I caculate my frames per second and want to convert it to a string to send to my text print out function which accepts a string for the message. I know how to convert it into a int to a char but I want to convert a int to a string. Hope you understand, can anyone help?

What language? I''ll assume C (ISO).
int Integer = 12345;char String[12];snprintf(String,12,"%d",Integer);


C++

I knew about that but what about something like

int Integer = 12345;
string strInteger;

snprintf(strInteger,"%d",Integer);

I dont wanna use char bla[12], instead I was to use a string. (Yes I know strings are all chars at heart but I want a string object not a char array, kinda the same thing but I hope it makes some sense.)

How about the following:


        int main(int argc, char *argv[]){    int  iValue;    char szTempString[1000];    // fill iValue with an integer, frame rate, value        .        .        .    string testing(itoa(iValue, szTempString, 10));    cout << testing;    return 0;}

C++ - Use stringstream


  string getFPS(){//calculate fps in variable frames  stringstream input;  input<<frames;  return input.str();}  



Why make it simple when you can make it sooo nice and complicated?

C++, using the Boost library.


  #include <lexical_cast.hpp>std::string myString = "12345";int myInt = boost::lexical_cast<int>( myString );  


You write it out just like any other C++ cast.
