Program Plan Intro

“itoa” function:

In C++, the predefined function “itoa” is used to convert an integer value into a string literal; it contains three parameters to refer the integer to convert, pointer character to store the result, and base number to convert.

Note: It is a deprecated item in C++; so many C++ compilers are not supporting this function.

Syntax:

The syntax for the “itoa” function is as follows:

char* itoa ( int n, char* s, int base);

In the above statement,

• “char*” represents the return type of the function.
• The first parameter “int n” represents the number to be converted.
• The second parameter “char* s” represents the pointer character to store the result.
• The third parameter “base” represents the base of the conversion.
