Thread: Convert Int to *Char

Hello everyone,

I've been having a hard time finding an answer to my solution without writting a new function just to do this.

How do I convert an Int to a *Char. For example. If my int varibale is 345, I want to convert it to "345."

What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks!

Cast it

Do you mean (char*)intVar ?

Doesnt this just create a char with the ascii value of what the int var is?

Yes. Casting it won't work.

I decided to use string instead of char arrays. Thanks for all the help.

a char array is a string... you are using a c++string instead of a c string

Yes, I know. Excatly

Go easy on me, I am just now getting back into programming after a few years, well almost 4 now!

Thanks for your reply.
