Concatenating Data of Different Types

[adnilsah017]

How to to concatenate a string data and a number?

I know there is a function called strcat in C but it works for two strings. The problem I am facing now is I have a string and a number that I want to concatenate so that they become one string. Say that I define the three variables as the following:

char studentName[] = "Student";

int studentNo = 1;

char combineData[];

Assuming that I want the the combined data to be stored in the variable combineData, how I am going to do that in C? In this case, the variable combineData should have the value "Student1";

You could always make a fourth buffer, and sprintf them all into it.

This I find to be the most reasonable solution. It works for any type you'd ever want to use it with, too!
