Is there an easy way to output a value to a character string of string type? Or vector type.

Easy, I am going to refrain from using the C way and just show you the c++ way.

In the <string> header, there is a overloaded method called std::to_string(value).
This will convert most values to strings. But remember there is a extra conversion involved if you are converting chars or shorts to strings. So, as long as you are not doing 5 billion number to string conversions, it should suffice.

Edit:
This is actually a C++11 feature, I had no idea..
If you are using an older version of the language, the c way of converting numbers is also pretty simple:

Code: [Select]

char buffer[25];
sprintf(buffer, "%[FormatCharacter]", numberToConvert);
string output(buffer);

No, if you cast it it becomes wacky.

Code: [Select]

int (-237) -> SUDDEN WEIRD STUFF if you cast it to a char.
int (48) -> char (0)
And itoa() seems to have the same problem as sprinf() does: it needs an array of characters, not a string or vector. And arrays of characters always seem to invite out of bounds errors D:

I might be doing it wrong, though. Perhaps I need an iterator where it wants a char * str argument?

Are you looking to transform -237 (int) to '-237' (char*)? If so, there's an easy way to do it using stringstreams.

Code: [Select]

#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

char* int_to_cstring(int a) {
    stringstream sstr;
    sstr << a;
    return sstr.str().c_str(); // std::stringstream::str() returns the contents of the stringstream as a std::string. std::string::c_str() returns the contents of the string as a C-style string (char*).
}

@Elu: I am using java, as much as people like to hate on it, its only major flaw is the size of its memory footprint and it doesn't really matter if I use an extra 200mb for the vm on my 16gb machine.

There's something cathartic about writing one giant Go Game god class and then slowly refactoring it out into a bunch of interfaces...

Maybe I'm just insane xD

Look at the title of the thread. Then back at yourself. Then back at the title. Then back at yourself.

You are most definitely insane.

Look down, back up. Where are you? You're in the office with a bloated piece of legacy code written in Java. What's that your compiling? Back at me. It's a language that refuses to evolve. Look again, the language is now C#! Anything is possible when your coders are willing to adapt and change with the times.

I am not your programmer. I am the programmer your programmer could program like.

Shit....

Trying out some crap. the eCobertura plugin for eclipse is behaving oddly. It is highlighting some of the files it covers, but not all of them. I have 1 file with 92.77% coverage and i can't figure out what isn't being tested.

Fucking awesome... It only highlights files that were created before the last time eclipse was opened. This is not a documented "feature"

Edit: Oh. and yay eCobertura also reports 100% line coverage with less than 100% branch coverage. It does not count switch case fall through as branch coverage. Even accounting for that and making sure I don't have some late && conditions never being hit, I have a file with 8 branches unaccounted for in a file with 100% coverage.

Cobertura was one of the best code coverage tools available for java through ant/maven, but the eclipse plugin is hacked bullshit that barely works.

I got completely distracted from my building generator when I ran into a problem where flat text property files would be annoying to deal with in creating material/form/usage trees.

So I said what the heck, I can write that shit in MNML, and then I spent the whole weekend converting that project to java, writing junit tests and java docs. And now I realize I have a recursion issue on the program side if you a do something crazy, like putting a container inside itself. Fortunately that does not affect reading MNML documents... so I might be able to convince my self to ignore it for now.

It doesn't matter what i try to code, outside of actual paid work, I can't seem to ever finish anything.

so i figured i'd post here...i'm currently trying to make a game, having some problems trying to do some testing on other computers since i'm writing it in python, now most guides and books i've read about programing has suggested to write it in python 2.7, but i noticed python 3.2 runs twice as fast so i go code it in that, problem i'm running into is every single script that will binary freeze...works with python 2.7, almost every single source of making a standalone is for python 2.7, so i'm questioning what i should do at this point, i could always cross that bridge when i get farther in it but its one of those problems that will annoy me untill it is fixed...

If you really want to finish something, promise yourself at the start that if you don't finish it, you will donate $100 to a Koch Bros SuperPAC.

If one were that trustworthy, one could just promise oneself to finish.

So that charity thing I was planning isn't going to happen. Maybe another time.

Thanks, Mego, to_string worked perfectly :3 Much better than having to write my own function that carefully dissects ints into vector output.
