Hi!
I have a very simple problem with itoa() or the localtime(...).
Sorry, if it is too simple, I don't have a proper example.
Please have a look at the comments.
struct tm *systime;
time_t currentTime;
char day[2];
char month[2];
char currentDate[6];
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
time(¤tTi me);
systime = localtime(&curr entTime);
itoa(systime->tm_mday, day, 10);
itoa(systime->tm_mon, month, 10);
printf("day = %s month = %s\n", day, month);
/** QUESTION: why is [day] not the current day but something arbitrary **/
strcat(currentD ate, day);
strcat(currentD ate, ".");
strcat(currentD ate, month);
strcat(currentD ate, ".");
/** QUESTION: Is there something simpler than that to concatenate strings ?
**/
<snip>
Thank you !

struct tm *systime; time_t currentTime;
You have not allowed for the string terminating null character
try char day[3];
char day[2];
same here
char month[2];
char currentDate[6];
main(int argc, char **argv) { time(¤tTi me); systime = localtime(&curr entTime);
You are aware that itoa() is not standard ANSI C and is therefore off topic
for this newsgroup
itoa(systime->tm_mday, day, 10); itoa(systime->tm_mon, month, 10);
You could use strftime() to format a string in a multitude of ways for
displaying
printf("day = %s month = %s\n", day, month); /** QUESTION: why is [day] not the current day but something arbitrary **/
not enough space allocated for null terminated string as stated above strcat(currentD ate, day); strcat(currentD ate, "."); strcat(currentD ate, month); strcat(currentD ate, "."); /** QUESTION: Is there something simpler than that to concatenate strings
? **/
yes strftime() for one way

Missing headers...
struct tm *systime; time_t currentTime; char day[2]; char month[2]; char currentDate[6];
All the above are too small. main(int argc, char **argv) { time(¤tTi me); systime = localtime(&curr entTime);
itoa(systime->tm_mday, day, 10); itoa(systime->tm_mon, month, 10); printf("day = %s month = %s\n", day, month); /** QUESTION: why is [day] not the current day but something arbitrary **/
Your clock is set incorrectly. strcat(currentD ate, day); strcat(currentD ate, "."); strcat(currentD ate, month); strcat(currentD ate, "."); /** QUESTION: Is there something simpler than that to concatenate strings ? **/ <snip>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(void)
{
struct tm *systime;
time_t currentTime;
char currentDate[7];
time(¤tTi me);
systime = localtime(&curr entTime);
printf("day = %d month = %d\n", systime->tm_mday,
1 + systime->tm_mon);
sprintf(current Date, "%d.%d", systime->tm_mday,
1 + systime->tm_mon);
puts(currentDat e);
return 0;
}
What was your question?

Hi,
I have a char* that holds an ascii character in its first element (at
least I think that's what it holds because when I print it, it prints
weird characters). I need to convert this into an integer and so I
thought the following might work:
char *somevar ... // somevar holds a value in somevar and is null
terminated i.e. somevar = '\0'

I wrote a version of itoa yesterday.
Features:
1 No implementation defined arithmetic. All of the division
and modulus division is done on positive values only.
2 No object is assumed capable of representing the
magnitude of INT_MIN.
3 The string is constructed in place without reversal.
4 No features from standard library are used.

I'm pretty new to C, although I did do some years ago now.
I've been told that itoa is no longer a standard function, and that the
ato... functions - although in the std - are not recommended.
So, I was wondering what was wrong with both itoa and atoi etc (and what's
replaced them).
Many thanks

hi,
all i want is a simple function that takes an int, and returns a char*
so i tried
char * itoa(int i)
{
char buff;
return _itoa(i,buff,10);
}

Can you please tell me where I can find itoa()?
I try to compile the following example, but I get the following error:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
