visual c++: convert int into string pointer

Question

how to convert integer into string pointer in visual c++?

Answer 1

This is how I did it in my homework since we were only allowed to use some predetermined libraries. I'm pretty sure it's not considered a "best practice" though ;)

string int2string(int integer) {
    string str;
    int division = integer;

    while (division > 0) {
        str = char('0' + (division % 10)) + str;
        division = division / 10;
    }

    return str;
}
