Question

Is there a way to convert a string to a number and vice versa in C? I know that I can use iostream in C++ and use atoi() or sprintf() etc.. I want to know if there’s a way to accomplish this in C without the use of streams. The only solution I see at this point is to create my own function, unless someone knows an already existing and proven solution.

Basically, is there a C equivalent to C++’s atoi() and sprintf() ?

Answer 1

Both of these are C functions:

• atoi is in stdlib.h
• sprintf is in stdio.h

And since these are included as part of C, neither require C++ streams.
