You mean you want to convert an integer to a decimal string representation.

In C++, use std::string.

Most probably you don't.

What is it that you're trying to achieve?

Don't tell about how you're trying to achieve that, the char*-based
scheme you have in mind, don't tell about that but /what/ is the effect
you want?

Yes, you should not quote signatures. I've corrected that in this
follow-up.

Please don't quote signatures. Thank you.

If you really need to end up with a C-style string, after you've
created a std::string following the FAQ Alf posted, use the c_str()
member function of std::string. Bear in mind that you shouldn't alter
the string via the raw char* and you shouldn't use the raw char* if
you make any subsequent changes to the std::string. But neither of
those should matter if you do all the assembling and altering in the
std::string first.

Why is it you need a char*? Are you interfacing with some third party
function that takes a char*? Or are you doing an exercise where the
requirement is to use C-style strings?

I want to append a number for labels in the loop .i achieved it thank
you .I did by using istring lb1="kris" and then lb1+=i(0,1,2,...in for
loop ) and then converting it into char* by c_str().

Thank you
