Converting an int to a 2 byte hex value in C

Question

I need to convert an int to a 2 byte hex value to store in a char array, in C. How can I do this?

Answer 1

For dynamic fixed length of hex

string makeFixedLengthHex(const int i, const int length)
{
    std::ostringstream ostr;
    std::stringstream stream;
    stream << std::hex << i;
    ostr << std::setfill('0') << std::setw(length) << stream.str();
    return ostr.str();
}

But negative you have to handle it yourself.
