number to string

I am having trouble finding how to do this properly.

I know there is a command atoi, but it changes a string to a number.

Im looking for a function(if there exists) to change/cast a number so it can be read as a string

ex.

5 = "5"
5.5 = "5.5

also, if there's any c++ reference website you can point me to for stuff such as this, it would be appreciated.(The C one is good, but need with string functions)

How about itoa? ;)
It's not ANSI C though...

well somewhat, although hard for me to find good documentation on it.

Plus, it wouldnt work for a double

you could try sprintf() or stringstreams, both of which are ANSI standard.

trying sprintf() I dont really understand the function

int sprintf(char*, const char*, ...)

although I want to put it into a string, isnt a string just a char pointer? Although I am receiving an error for that.

Code:

---

char Buffer[1024];

char* MyName = "Peter Pan";
int MyAge = 28;

//Create the string
sprintf(Buffer, "Hello, my name is %s and I'm %d years old!", MyName, MyAge);

//Print the string
printf("%s", Buffer);

You need a buffer, where the data will be stored. It have to be an array, not just a pointer.
Then you specify a formatting string, and eventually some variables. Pretty much like printf().
