    Converting integer to string???

    Hi all,

    I was trying to concatenate an integer with a string. I tried doing:

    char *string1;
    int age = 2;

    string1 = "my age is ";

    string1 = strcat(string1, age);

    but this failed. Does anyone know how I can convert an integer (age in my code) to a string so that I can use it in the strcat function?

    Thanks a lot!

    Code:
    sprintf(string1, "My age is %d", age);
