sprintf in C++

[kroiz]

Hi,
I'm in a habit of using sprintf in C++.
What in the standard C++ can be use instead? and should I change my ways?

stringstream is the "similar thing". You use it like any other stream, and it's a "two way", so you can do something like:

int main() 
{
  stringstream ss;
  float f;
  string s;
  cout << "Enter a float:";
  cin >> f;
  ss << setw(5) << setprecision(3) << f;
  ss >> s;
  cout << "string is " << s << endl;
  return 0;
}
