convert integers to ascii

raven · 02-14-2002, 09:02 AM

hello

does somebody know if there is a built-in function in c to convert an integer vaue into a "string"?

i need to store for example 234 in this form:

char *value;

the result then shoud be:
*(value+0)=2
*(value+1)=3
*(value+2)=4

any ideas? or do i have to write my own function to do this???

thanks

raven

You need your output string to be already allocated, then do something like:

int Number = 234;

char Value[MAX_SIZE];

sprintf(Value, "%d", Number);

The function itoa is also made specifically for converting integers to a character array.

Ach! I knew there was one that did that. But I couldn't remember what it was, and I could only find atoi.
