how can I turn a numeric variable (es. :INT number) into a string variable (char string)? I need to to this in order to find out how long that string is , with the strlen() function. It's a data formatting trouble with a console program that I am porting from qbasic-dos to linux as my first C++ exercise.
thanks
*mercy for the newbie* :-P
Like this?Code:char buff[30]; sprintf( buff, "%d", myint ); int nchars = strlen( buff );
Welcome to the board jagerhans!
What will people say if they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do if they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there is no disguising the truth!

in c++ there is also stringstreams....
Code:#include<iostream> #include<sstream> using namespace std; int main() { ostringstream out; char str1[]={"I have "}; char str2[]={" apples"}; int apples=10; out<<str1<<apples<<str2; cout<<"The string in out is :- "<<out.str(); return 0; }
Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!

The slightly more obscure way of calculating the length of an integer is
len = log10(x) + 1;
