Here''s the C way:
char output[10];
int a = 12;
sprintf(output, "%i", a);
Now you can output output. Hehe.
char output[10];
int a = 12;
sprintf(output, "%i", a);
Now you can output output. Hehe.
It's not what you're taught, it's what you learn.

yeah thx :-)
but i was actually looking for a way to convert it without printing it out
so i can pass it on to my messagebox or whatever.
i tries msdn but damn , they only talk about converting one integer type to another.

Waverider already did that. The variable named "output" is a character string. Just pass that. sprintf did not put the information to a stream, it put the character representation of the integer in a character string. Examine the code carefully and look up "sprintf".

You honestly don''t know how stupid that piece of code is. Try it out and learn...

You can also do
int input;
char output[10];
itoa(input, output, 10); // the 10 is for base 10
- f l u c k y p o o
- the geek inside
int input;
char output[10];
itoa(input, output, 10); // the 10 is for base 10
- f l u c k y p o o
- the geek inside
- f l u c k y p o o

Ten characters isn''t always long enough. You need 12 elements in the worst case (-1000000000 or lower).
