to_string is not a member of std, says g++ (mingw)

Question

I am making a small vocabulary remembering program where words would would be flashed at me randomly for meanings. I want to use standard C++ library as Bjarne Stroustroup t

Answer 1

This happened to me as well, I just wrote up a quick function rather than worrying about updating my compiler.

string to_string(int number){
    string number_string = "";
    char ones_char;
    int ones = 0;
    while(true){
        ones = number % 10;
        switch(ones){
            case 0: ones_char = '0'; break;
            case 1: ones_char = '1'; break;
            case 2: ones_char = '2'; break;
            case 3: ones_char = '3'; break;
            case 4: ones_char = '4'; break;
            case 5: ones_char = '5'; break;
            case 6: ones_char = '6'; break;
            case 7: ones_char = '7'; break;
            case 8: ones_char = '8'; break;
            case 9: ones_char = '9'; break;
            default : ErrorHandling("Trouble converting number to string.");
        }
        number -= ones;
        number_string = ones_char + number_string;
        if(number == 0){
            break;
        }
        number = number/10;
    }
    return number_string;
}
