convert numbers to strings

is there a way to convert numbers to strings ?
the number could be integer/float ..

www.akilla.tk

for int

char *_itoa( int value, char *string, int radix );

for float

char *_fcvt( double value, int count, int *dec, int *sign )

look um up.

Code:

char word[20];
int number1 = 12345;
float number2 = 678.9;
sprintf(word, "%d  %f", number1, number2);
cout << word;

The format specifiers are the same as for printf.

the output is
12345 678.900024

here's my code...

PHP Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
    char word[20];
    int number1 = 12345;
    float number2 = 678.9;
    sprintf(word, "%d  %f", number1, number2);
    cout << word;
    cin.get();
}

By the way, how do you know about these functions ??
Is there a book that tells all these things that I can refer
to ? Is it online ?

That's the disadvantage of using floats.
Your program is good (you could try: %.1f) but the OS can't handle floats very well.

You can take a look in the Microsoft MSDN library for example: _itoa

butt loads of questions, and research such as reading my headers, and the MSDN as Monster posted, it defines and explains virtually every function in standard C/C++ and many other languages.

it is Microsofts single greatest accomplishment.

>Is it online ?

yeah,

I like this one as well:

Code:

#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    ostringstream oss, oss2;
    oss << 12345;
    oss2 << 678.9;
    string s1 = oss1.str(), s2 = oss2.str();
    cout << s1 << endl << s2 << endl;
}

On my machine (Solaris CC compiler) I don't have that pesky formatting problem.

Perhaps you could write an algorithm to do it? It is not as difficult as you may think...
