Sure

int i = 1;
int l = 2;
double d = 3;
char c1 = i;
char c2 = l;
char c3 = d;

is that what you meant?

I meant to type

long l = 2;

Sure, but you will have to use some function to do basically what
itoa() and sprintf() do. You might even have write that function
yourself. There is nothing magic in any of the standard library
functions, just code.

BTW - I am assuming you are trying to get a number formatted as a
string, as accomplished like this: sprintf( psz, "%i",
nNumberToFormat);
