Int to Char

I'm trying to convert integers to char. Is there anyway to do this. I'm coding a game and am using rand to generate a range of numbers. After 10 these numbers have to be represented by letters. Thanks for your help.

Yes. Presumably you are converting the integers 0-9 to the characters '0' - '9' and want 10, for example to become 'A'? If so you can use the fact that characters are actually stored as integer codes so...

Code:

---

char x;
int i;

i = 10;
x = (char) i + ('A' - 10);

---

... will give A for 10, B for 11, C for 12 ... up to Z for 36. Beyond 36, you will get some other characters depending on the character set of you machine.

you could use itoa,ltoa etc functions in stdlib.h

>>> use itoa,ltoa

You have to be a bit careful here. Without knowing really what he is doing, (he didn't post his code!!!). itoa converts to a null terminated string, not a single character.

uhh... sorry

>>> uhh... sorry

Not necessary! That may well be what he wants, but without knowing what he is doing with his digits and letters, it is impossible to be sure!
