    Do you mean a string -- a C++ string?

    sprintf is standard (or stringstreams).
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    I don't know if it's proper, but I like stringstream. Something like this:

    Code:
    #include <sstream>
    
    int x = 3;
    std::stringstream s;
    //streams x into the string
    s << x;
    //function to call s is s.str()
    cout<< s.str();

    c:\Documents and Settings\David Brotz\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\MathChecker 2.0\MathChecker 2.0Dlg.cpp(22): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'

    For the FAQ one, i dont really understand how it converts so id rather do something i understand.

    Is that a type and not a value? Why not sprintf?

    Program on an eight bit platform. int and char should be the same there.

    There I would especially doubt it.
