Add var and txt to var

[BBasje]

Hello Guys!

I'am programming a lpc2148 and all works quite well. But I have one small problem, I want to use a function but I have multiple out.

Here is what i have:

int functionAnimatie(unsigned int intVar){
  varTwo= out + intVar;
}

Here is 'out' just text and 'intVar' a number. My problem is: I want to couple the text and the number to: out1 if the number is 1 or out2 if the number is 2.

I don't know how I can do it and also can't find it on the internet.
Can one of you help me out?

Thanks in advance,
BBasje

Eh? Come again? I didn't really understand all that. Anyone else did?
What exactly are you trying to do?

If you need to convert an integer to text, you need to use some function - this is not PHP where you can just make something a string and append any other variable to it and automatically it becomes a string.

In this case, I think you want sprintf().

That is, if I understood the question correctly [well, the only ACTUAL question in there should be answered with a "Yes" - there's someone that can help you.]

Excuse me for my english :-P

In the programming code, I need to get the outcome of 'out' in combination with 'intVar'.

If 'intVar = 1', I want to get 'out1'.
If 'intVar = 2', I want to get 'out2'.

I have little programming experience, so I don't know how to get that working.
Does anyone of you have a solution for this problem?

I can't use the 'sprintf()' command, because I need the outcome as a number in the program, so I can use it again in another string.

I hope this is clear enough though :-P

Sorry, but I don't follow that: You can't use sprintf() because it creates a string, but you want a string that is "outX" where X is your intVar? Or do you want a numeric value that represents the four characters 'o', 'u', 't', 'X' [where X is a digit?]

I believe what you want is to combine the number and the string. So far example if intVar is 1, the results becomes "out1", yes?
This is a string, not a number, so I'm not sure why you say you can't make a string? It doesn't make sense to what you're doing?
sprintf can create a string for you from a number.

What type is "out"?
