Need some help

[Mike56p]

I am trying to create a program to score a bowling game. I have a variable "B" that is defined as an int. There is another varaible "K" that is defined as an int.

I have used B = getchar() to get the value of B and i then do
K = B + K
and assign the value of K to a point in my array, and print the array to the screen, but K is returned on the monitor as a funny looking character. How can i get K to be returned to the monitor as a number and not this strange character?

What do you mean by printing integers to a string?

Post some code and sample output.

Like joshdick said, some code would really help.

If what you're looking to do is convert a string like "213" into the int 213, use atoi(). There are similar functions for longs and floats, atol() and atof(), respectively.

If you just need to convert a single character, there's a simple way to do that by exploiting the relationship between a character and its ASCII number.

For example, if you have:

char ch = '7';

int x = ch - '0';

Now x == 7. Furthermore, that code works for any number 0-9 stored in ch. That's basically what atoi() is probably doing.
