    Is there a function to convert a numeric value into a string?

    Hello. I was wondering if there is a standard library function to convert a numeric value into a string.

    Compiler: Turbo C++ v1.01

    sprintf( strVariable, "%d", intVariable );

    will do it, but no doubt someone knows a more efficient way!

    you could probably use the strcpy();

    but you would have to use the sting.h header file

    Hi!

    I've never heard about such function, but snprintf() could be a good choice. I'm not sure if this code below is working properly, but try it. The integer parsing stuff functional, it will convert any integer to string.

    char *ParseNum(void* num, int flag) {

    #define I 1
    #define D 2


    char *string; int x = (num < 0) ? 1 : 0;
    unsigned int div = 10, count;
    size_t size = sizeof(char);

    switch(flag) {
    case I:
    x = 0, count = (int) num;
    while((count = count / div) > div) { x = x++; } x = x + 1;
    string = (char *) xmalloc(x);
    snprintf(string,(size * x) + 1,"%d",(int) num);
    memset(&string[x+1],'\0',size); break;
    case D:
    string = (char *) xmalloc(sizeof(double)+1);
    snprintf(string,(sizeof(char) * sizeof(double)) + 1,"1.5Lf",num);
    break;
    }

    return string;
    }


    Hope this will be useful to you!

    Bye!
    Best Regards,

    Bill

    Just a comment:

    The void* arg is not good, I've used for testing something. Use double instead.

    >>Just a comment:
    .. and two more comments:
    - use code tags when posting code;
    - don't double post, if you've made a mistake in a post, just edit it.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
