Easiest Way to Convert Int to String in C++

Easiest way to convert int to string in C++

C++11 introduces std::stoi (and variants for each numeric type) and std::to_string, the counterparts of the C atoi and itoa but expressed in term of std::string.

#include <string> 

std::string s = std::to_string(42);

is therefore the shortest way I can think of. You can even omit naming the type, using the auto keyword:

auto s = std::to_string(42);

Note: see [string.conversions] (21.5 in n3242)

How to convert an int to string in C?

EDIT: As pointed out in the comment, itoa() is not a standard, so better use sprintf() approach suggested in the rivaling answer!


You can use itoa() function to convert your integer value to a string.

Here is an example:

int num = 321;
char snum[5];

// convert 123 to string [buf]
itoa(num, snum, 10);

// print our string
printf("%s\n", snum);

If you want to output your structure into a file there is no need to convert any value beforehand. You can just use the printf format specification to indicate how to output your values and use any of the operators from printf family to output your data.

Use sprintf():

int someInt = 368;
char str[12];
sprintf(str, "%d", someInt);

All numbers that are representable by int will fit in a 12-char-array without overflow, unless your compiler is somehow using more than 32-bits for int. When using numbers with greater bitsize, e.g. long with most 64-bit compilers, you need to increase the array size—at least 21 characters for 64-bit types.

Converting int to string in C

Use snprintf, it is more portable than itoa.

itoa is not part of standard C, nor is it part of standard C++; but, a lot of compilers and associated libraries support it.

Example of sprintf

char* buffer = ... allocate a buffer ...
int value = 4564;
sprintf(buffer, "%d", value);

Example of snprintf

char buffer[10];
int value = 234452;
snprintf(buffer, 10, "%d", value);

Both functions are similar to fprintf, but output is written into an array rather than to a stream. The difference between sprintf and snprintf is that snprintf guarantees no buffer overrun by writing up to a maximum number of characters that can be stored in the buffer.

Converting an int to std::string

You can use std::to_string in C++11

int i = 3;
std::string str = std::to_string(i);

Converting integer to string in c++

Character code for numbers are not equal to the integer the character represents in typical system.

It is granteed that character codes for decimal digits are consecutive (N3337 2.3 Character sets, Paragraph 3), so you can add '0' to convert one-digit number to character.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string s;
int b=5;
s.push_back((char)(b + '0'));
cout<<s<<endl;
}

Converting integer to string in C without sprintf

You can use itoa where available. If it is not available on your platform, the following implementation may be of interest:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130722203238/https://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs350/common/os161-src-html/atoi_8c-source.html

Usage:

char *numberAsString = itoa(integerValue); 

UPDATE

Based on the R..'s comments, it may be worth modifying an existing itoa implementation to accept a result buffer from the caller, rather than having itoa allocate and return a buffer.

Such an implementation should accept both a buffer and the length of the buffer, taking care not to write past the end of the caller-provided buffer.

Convert int n into string of length n in C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void number_to_alphabet_string(int n){

char buffer[n];
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
buffer[i] = n + 64;
//check ASCII table the difference is fixed to 64
printf("%c",buffer[i]);
}
printf("\n");}

int main(void){
int C = 3;
number_to_alphabet_string(C);

int J = 10;
number_to_alphabet_string(J);
return 0;
}

exit

If you are new to a low level programming language like C and you care about it then I strongly suggest you to go through a textbook and learn it from scratch rather than combining snipets of code. In general try to keep it simple and for tasks like that don't use complex syntax and data structures, c gives you low level control of types and that's something that you need to master if you perhaps need to use it further in the future.
