Convert an integer to a string

[Sathish C]

Hi
Is there any easy way to convert an integer value to a string in C under Unix .

Ex

int number=123;
char strnum[4];
strcpy(strnum,to_string(number));

where to_string will have to give me the integer to string .

int number = 123;
char strnum[16];
(void) sprintf(strnum,"%d",number);

/* You can also use a format specifier to
produce a fixed format; it's always a good idea to oversize the destination string because this is C and if your put 1,000,000 into a 4 character string, sprintf will dutifully carry out your commands and corrupt surrounding data */

/* This will produce a zero-padded 6 character output 8/
(void) sprintf(strnum,"%06d",number);
(void) printf("My number is %s\n",strnum);
