Converting int to char in C

Question

Right now I am trying to convert an int to a char in C programming. After doing research, I found that I should be able to do it like this:

int value = 10;
c         


        

Answer 1

A portable way of doing this would be to define a

const char* foo = "0123456789ABC...";

where ... are the rest of the characters that you want to consider.

Then and foo[value] will evaluate to a particular char. For example foo[0] will be '0', and foo[10] will be 'A'.

If you assume a particular encoding (such as the common but by no means ubiquitous ASCII) then your code is not strictly portable.
