Where can I find an overview of type conversion, e.g. string to integer, etc.?
Because of the comments so far, I’ll clarify: I’m looking for a list /table that says:
To convert a string to an int, use: … And same for other data types (where possible): double to int, char to string, …
If it’s string to/from other types then stringstream or boost::lexical_cast.
For other types it will depend on the types, but maybe look up the standard cast templates? static_cast and dynamic_cast should do most things you need, or there is const_cast and reinterpret_cast which tend to only be useful for dealing with legacy systems.
