newbie - how do i set a int var to a char

Hi,
Im new to c++ and semi experienced at vb.

I need to know how to convert a integer type variable for example to a string type (char?) variable Is there some keyword or easy way to do this that im missing?

My question is, how do I do this in c++?:

dim newVar as integer = cint(stringVariable)

or

dim newVar as String = cStr(numberVariable)

I need to set a integer variable to a string see? Let me know, thanks.

This is really easy.

int mynumber = 5;

char buf[501]; CString str;

sprintf(buf, "%i", mynumber); str = buf;

So now it's a CString.

I hope this helps.

Have a look in MSDN at function _itoa:

Quote:

---

_itoa
Convert an integer to a string.
char *_itoa( int value, char *string, int radix );

Alternatively, if you are using CString you can use the Format member function:

eg:

Code:

---

CString str;
int i = 1;
str.Format("%d", i);
