Please recommendation for most simple conversion from integer where integers can be only 0 and 1 to char*, in C language.

I have function which returns 0 or 1 as integer.

gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(mytogglebutton));

In other module it is function and in third declaration.

int set_locals(char* s_setting, char* s_value);

I try with:

set_locals("my_prop", (char*)gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(mytogglebutton)));

But this won’t work.

I know how to use sprintf, but when here is only 0 and 1 maybe someone know shorter way?

The shortest way for this would be using the ternary conditional operator:

set_locals("my_prop", 
     gtk_toggle_button_get_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(mytogglebutton)) ? "1" : "0" );

However this is a const char*, but as you presented the problem, I don’t think it will be an issue.
