Easiest way to convert int to string in C++

Question

What is the easiest way to convert from int to equivalent string in C++. I am aware of two methods. Is there any easier way?

(1)

Answer 1

string number_to_string(int x) {

    if (!x)
        return "0";

    string s, s2;
    while(x) {
        s.push_back(x%10 + '0');
        x /= 10;
    }
    reverse(s.begin(), s.end());
    return s;
}

Answer 2

This worked for me -

My code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int n = 32;
    string s = to_string(n);
    cout << "string: " + s  << endl;
    return 0;
}

Answer 3

Use:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>

std::string intToString(int num);

int main()
{
    int integer = 4782151;

    std::string integerAsStr = intToString(integer);

    std::cout << "integer = " << integer << std::endl;
    std::cout << "integerAsStr = " << integerAsStr << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

std::string intToString(int num)
{
    std::string numAsStr;

    while (num)
    {
        char toInsert = (num % 10) + 48;
        numAsStr.insert(0, 1, toInsert);

        num /= 10;
    }
    return numAsStr;
}

Answer 4

If you have Boost installed (which you should):

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

int num = 4;
std::string str = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(num);

Answer 5

It would be easier using stringstreams:

#include <sstream>

int x = 42;          // The integer
string str;          // The string
ostringstream temp;  // 'temp' as in temporary
temp << x;
str = temp.str();    // str is 'temp' as string

Or make a function:

#include <sstream>

string IntToString(int a)
{
    ostringstream temp;
    temp << a;
    return temp.str();
}

Answer 6

namespace std
{
    inline string to_string(int _Val)
    {   // Convert long long to string
        char _Buf[2 * _MAX_INT_DIG];
        snprintf(_Buf, "%d", _Val);
        return (string(_Buf));
    }
}

You can now use to_string(5).
