[Solved, but I still have a question] C++ Question re assigning int to another var as hex

Question

I understand how to convert an int (or multiple var) to hex using std::hex during output (cout)

int x = 123;
cout << hex << x;

but how would one instead assign the hex value to a different variable, like y?

Solved:
int x = 123;
stringstream ss;
ss << hex << x;
string y = ss.str();

Out of curiosity, if one wanted to convert multiple int is there a strategy aside from repaying this many times? Perhaps a loop, but in that case how would one keep reassigning the in and out variable names?

Answer 1

you need use loop and probably a array of stringstreams

I'm thinking you could be right. If going straight to cout one sstream might do but to place each int to a different hex var is likely a different story.

Still you think there would be a way to do it with large amounts of integers... maybe looping into an array? Or vectors? (I know *nothing* about vectors yet except they exist 🙄).
