how to convert from int to char*?

Solution 1:

• In C++17, use std::to_chars as:

  std::array<char, 10> str;
  std::to_chars(str.data(), str.data() + str.size(), 42);
  

• In C++11, use std::to_string as:

  std::string s = std::to_string(number);
  char const *pchar = s.c_str();  //use char const* as target type
  

• And in C++03, what you're doing is just fine, except use const as:

  char const* pchar = temp_str.c_str(); //dont use cast
  

Solution 2:

I think you can use a sprintf :

int number = 33;
char* numberstring[(((sizeof number) * CHAR_BIT) + 2)/3 + 2];
sprintf(numberstring, "%d", number);

Solution 3:

You can use boost

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
string s = boost::lexical_cast<string>( number );
