A Little help on conversions.....

[SublicK]

OK..... I've asked this before, but I think the wording was off a bit.

I want to convert a INT var into a CHAR var. NOT A STRING!!

this is a way...but it converts to a string:
sprintf(string, "%i", integer)

can I do this:

int IntVar = 99;
char CharVar[20];

sprintf(CharVar, "%i",IntVar);

I'm new at C++ (used to program in QBaisc)
I must be stupid or something :P

anyway, any help would be cool.

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
    int IntVar = 99;
    printf( "%d %c\n", IntVar, IntVar );   // prints 99 c
    cout << IntVar << " " << (char)IntVar << endl;   // ditto
    char ch = (char)IntVar;
    printf( "%d %c\n", ch, ch );   // prints 99 c
    cout << (int)ch << " " << ch << endl;   // ditto
    return 0;
}

what is the difference between 'char' and 'unsigned char'

I am using Allegro and the textout function needs a unsigned char....
how can I use 'char CharBuffer = (char)IntVar'
to make a unsigned char istead of a char?

void textout(BITMAP *bmp, FONT *f, unsigned char *str, int x, int y, int color);

unsigned char cbuff[2];
cbuff[0] = IntVar;
cbuff[1] = '\0';
textout( bmap, font, cbuff, x, y, col );
