Convert an integer or a float to a string

Q

Does there exist any other function which can be used to convert an integer or a float to a string?

✍: FYIcenter

A

Some implementations provide a nonstandard function called itoa(), which converts an integer to string.

char *itoa(int value, char *string, int radix);

DESCRIPTION - The itoa() function constructs a string representation of an integer.

PARAMETERS -

value: Is the integer to be converted to string representation.

string: Points to the buffer that is to hold resulting string. The resulting string may be as long as seventeen bytes.

radix: Is the base of the number; must be in the range 2 - 36.

Another portable solution exists. One can use sprintf():

char s[SOME_CONST];
int i = 10;
float f = 10.20;
sprintf ( s, "%d %f\n", i, f );

Bitwise Operations
Which bit wise operator is suitable for checking whether a particular bit is on or off? The bitwise AND operator. Here is an example: enum { KBit1 = 0x00000001 KBit2 = 0x00000010, KBit3 = 0x00000100, ... }; if ( some_int & KBit24 ) printf("Bit number 24 is ON\n"); else printf("Bit number 24 is O... 2007-02-26, 8529👍, 0💬

Bitwise Operations
Which bit wise operator is suitable for turning on a particular bit in a number? The bitwise OR operator. In the following code snippet, the bit number 24 is turned ON: enum { KBit1 = 0x00000001 KBit2 = 0x00000010, KBit3 = 0x00000100, ... }; some_int = some_int | KBit24; 2007-02-26, 8042👍, 0💬

malloc Function
Why does malloc(0) return valid memory address? What's the use? malloc(0) does not return a non-NULL under every implementation. An implementation is free to behave in a manner it finds suitable, if the allocation size requested is zero. The implmentation may choose any of the following actions: * A... 2007-02-26, 7592👍, 0💬

Including Source Files
What is the result of using Option Explicit? When writing your C program, you can include files in two ways. The first way is to surround the file you want to include with the angled brackets < and >. This method of inclusion tells the preprocessor to look for the file in the predefine... 2007-02-26, 7398👍, 0💬

Strings vs. Character Arrays
What is the difference between strings and character arrays? A major difference is: string will have static storage duration, whereas as a character array will not, unless it is explicity specified by using the static keyword. Actually, a string is a character array with following properties: * the ... 2007-02-26, 7212👍, 0💬

Pointer to Constants
What is the difference between const char* p and char const* p? In const char* p, the character pointed by "p" is constant, so you can not change the value of character pointed by p but u can make "p" refer to some other location. In char const* p, the pointer "p" is constant not the character refer... 2007-02-26, 7165👍, 0💬

Multi-dimension Arrays
Write down the equivalent pointer expression for referring the same element a[i][j][k][l]? a[i] == *(a+i) a[i][j] == *(*(a+i)+j) a[i][j][k] == *(*(*(a+i)+j)+k) a[i][j][k][l] == *(*(*(*(a+i)+j)+k)+l) 2007-02-26, 6957👍, 0💬

Calling Base Class Methods
How can method defined in multiple base classes with same name be invoked from derived class simultaneously? class x { public: m1(); }; class y { public: m1(); }; class z: public x, public y { public: m1() { x::m1(); y::m1(); } }; 2007-02-26, 6906👍, 0💬
