How do I convert an int to a char and also back from char to int?
e.g 12345 == abcde
Right now I have it using a whole bunch of case statement, wonder if there is a smarter way of doing that?
Thanks,

I would recommend use ASCII values and just typecast.
In most cases it is best to just use the ASCII values to encode letters; however if you wanted to use 1 2 3 4 to represent ‘a’ ‘b’ ‘c’ ‘d’ then you could use the following.
For example, if you wanted to convert the letter 1 to ‘a’ you could do:
as in ASCII 97 corresponds to the character ‘a’. Likewise you can convert the character ‘a’ to the integer 1 as follows
Of course it is just easier to use ASCII values to start with and avoid adding or subtracting as shown above. 😀
