How to convert int to string?

Is there a way to get a int into a string, so I can use it as a string? I tried typecasting... lol that didint work, any ideas?

Thanks!

just a word of caution:
c++ doesn't natively support strings. it only deals directly with numbers. if your string looks something like this:

PHP Code:

---

char* temp = "wpeokwpokerpow"; 


---

you have a pointer address. typecasting will give you that address and convert it to int form.

if your string looks like this:

PHP Code:

---

string temp = "wpeokwpokerpow"; 


---

then casting might work. but casting there could be an overloaded operator function, designed for that.

sigh... can someone check if the stl string class does this?

can't you just do the thing manually?
this may have some errors since I didn't test it

Code:

---

...
int number,x,copy=0;
cin>>number;
copy=number;
for(x=0;copy!=0;x++)
{
 copy/=10;
 x++;
}
int *array = new int[x];
copy=number;
for(x=0;x<array.strlen();x++)
{
 array[x]=copy%10;
 copy%=10;
}
...

// if you want to include the sign (example: '+' or '-'), you need to change the array to type char. otherwise, the sign will be lost because I can't think of another way.
