Thread: Conversion to string

I have no idea how to convert integers, doubles, floats etc... to strings. Can anyone help? I thought maybe casting might do it...I googled the "string class" for C++ but it makes no mention of what I'm trying to do. Has a lot of useful information though. I also thought simply using string = int would do it, but no luck. Are those functions atoi() or itoa() my only option??

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
	string test;
	int num = 5;
	double num2 = 10.5;

	test = (string)num;
	cout << test;

	test = (string)num2;
	cout << test;

  return (EXIT_SUCCESS);

}

sounds good...how? haha, sorry i'm not familiar with doing that.
