Thread: send() characters from integers

If i use the following statement:

Code:

printf("%c",number);

the ascii correspondent to 'number' will be printed, how can i do the same with the send command?

this is an example of the send() command:

Code:

send(socket,character,1,0);

but for this, i cannot convert the variable type when i send it...

is there a way to send variables using the '%c', '%d' etc. constants?
