how to convert integer to string in C?

[sudha_sakthi]

Hi,

I am facing problem in converting integer to string in C programming?Iam using Code composer Studio IDE for debugging the program.There not accepting itoa() function for string conversion.Please tell me some other method for intger to string conversion.Any body please help me.

Thanks

A example to illustrate:

#include <stdlib.h>	// for itoa() call
#include <stdio.h>	// for printf() call

int main() {
	int num = 123;
	char buf[5];

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

	// print our string
	printf("&#37;s\n", buf);

	return 0;
}

A example to illustrate:

Except that itoa is non-standard, and sudha_sakthi explicitly noted that it was not available.

With a Microsoft compiler? Note that you posted this thread in the Visual C++ Programming forum.

Please tell me some other method for intger to string conversion.

One way is to use sprintf() with a sufficiently large buffer. To modify sunny_sz's example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int num = 123;

    char buf[12];
    sprintf(buf, "&#37;d", num);

    printf("%s\n", buf);

    return 0;
}

That means that he is in the right place.

Except that itoa is non-standard, and sudha_sakthi explicitly noted that it was not available.

Explicitly ? And he said that because it was non-standard ? I guess I need reading glasses....

There not accepting itoa() function for string conversion.

Why not ? The whole world uses it ...

If the answer is yes, that is. The Code Composer Studio IDE appears to come with a compiler from Texas Instruments rather than Microsoft.

Yes, you do I stated that it was non-standard. sudha_sakthi stated that it was "not accepting itoa() function for string conversion". Granted, I might have misinterpreted the statement, but since it is non-standard, it is reasonable to suppose that "not accepting" was due to "unavailable", considering that I already suspect that the compiler is from Texas Instruments.

Hi all,

yes. the code composer IDE is from Texas Instrument .Using sprintf() function it is working fine.

Thank u....
