I know that atoi(char*) will change a string into an integer, but how do I
change an integer into a string???

You should read the FAQ before posting to -any- newsgroup, including this
one. Why don't you go do that now.

Attempting to write in a hybrid which can be compiled by either a C compiler
or a C++ compiler produces a compromise language which combines the drawbacks
of both with the advantages of neither.

sprintf( ... ) will do the trick for you.

As you doubtlessly saw in the C-FAQ-list, the sprintf function will
do this. Presumably you were just checking to make sure that the
answer in 13.1 is still correct after your last reading of that august
document. I can assure you that its wise counsel is still valid.

sprintf (my_string, "%d", my_int);

Hi Tim McGuire,

From the comp.lang.c FAQ:
13.1: How can I convert numbers to strings (the opposite of atoi)?
Is there an itoa function?

You can get the FAQ at http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html or
at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/comp.lang.c/C-FAQ-list and it gets
posted to this newsgroup and to news.answers regularly (at the
beginning of each month).

Don't be such an ass....maybe he didn't know about the FAQ (?)
Obviously new to C programming.
Give people a break sometimes.

This isn't about C programming, it is about basic netiquette. You should
check whether any newsgroup has a FAQ before posting to it. See
news.announce.newusers for more information.
