Any ideas how to convert a char to string and vice-versa?

Question

Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

....?? You call the string constructor with the parameters like I've written...

string mystring(1, 'x');

for example for char='x'. it will create a string of length 1 with 'x' in it.

Answer 2

char to string : char a='1'; string str(1,a);
string to char: impossible unless it's one character long.

Answer 3

The name of the string you want to convert into.

Answer 4

This seem to convert a string in a char array

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
string str = "ciao";
char chr[4];
for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++) {
chr[x] = str[x];
cout << chr[x] << endl;
}
}

Answer 5

You can use a function for string-cstring and the constructor for the other way.

//#include <string>
//#include <cstring>
string s = "foobar";
char* ch = new char [s.length () + 1];
strcpy (ch, s.c_str ());
// ch is now a c string. Do stuff with it, then...
delete [] ch;

The constructor way:
char* ch = "convert me";
string str = ch;

I hope this helps. happy coding :)

Helioform Thanks

Answer 9

Hmm I've never thought it like that. You are right alex. SoloLearn should definitely include that in lesson about strings and chars. Fortunately there is community and it's really good.

Answer 10

Strings are just an array of chars. You can treat it like an array and use do somethint like "char foo = mystring[2];"

And if you want to add onto a string, you simply do "mystring += 'p' "
