int -> char*
Author
This is driving me crazy: how do you convert a number to a string, without writing some stupid algorithm to map the individual digits to chars? I''m guessing there is some way to convert int to string to char*, but I have no documentation on the standard string include, so I don''t know how to do it. Is there any way to convert it with or with out using the string include? And while we''re on the subject, how do you convert string/char* to int? or string/char* to float?
atoi converts from char* to int, itoa from int to char*, and sprintf can do what itoa does, plus works with lots of other types

I generally use sprintf or std::stringstream, depending on my mood. 
I''m hip because I say "M$" instead of "MS".
#include <string>using std::string;#include <stringstream>using std::stringstream;stringstream ss;ss << (int)1337;string cppstring=ss.str();const char* lpszHungarianissomuchfun=cppstring.c_str(); I''m hip because I say "M$" instead of "MS".

You don''t. Really. Even the standard library algorithms do that behind the scenes.

The ''itoa'' function is very non-standard, and should be avoided.
Another way to do it is via the boost library''s lexical cast function. See http://www.boost.org/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm
Here is an example:
Here is an example:
#include <iostream>#include <string>#include <vector>#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>using namespace std;using boost::lexical_cast;using boost::bad_lexical_cast;int main(int argc, char * argv[]){ vector<short> args; while(*++argv) { try { args.push_back(lexical_cast<short>(*argv)); } catch(bad_lexical_cast & { args.push_back(0); } } while( args.size() ) { try { cout << lexical_cast<string>(args.front()); } catch(bad_lexical_cast & { } args.pop_front(); } return 0;} This topic is closed to new replies.
