_itoa, _i64toa, _ui64toa, _itow, _i64tow, _ui64tow
Converts an integer to a string. More secure versions of these functions are available; see _itoa_s, _i64toa_s, _ui64toa_s, _itow_s, _i64tow_s, _ui64tow_s.

Parameters
value
Number to be converted.str
String result.radix
Base of value; which must be in the range 2–36.
Return Value
Each of these functions returns a pointer to str. There is no error return.
Remarks
The _itoa, _i64toa, and _ui64toa functions convert the digits of the given value argument to a null-terminated character string and stores the result (up to 33 characters for _itoa and 65 for _i64toa and _ui64toa) in str. If radix equals 10 and value is negative, the first character of the stored string is the minus sign ( – ). _itow, _i64tow, and _ui64tow are wide-character versions of _itoa, _i64toa, and _ui64toa, respectively.
Security Note |
---|
To prevent buffer overruns, ensure that the str buffer is large enough to hold the converted digits plus the trailing null-character and a sign character. |
In C++, these functions have template overloads that invoke the newer, secure counterparts of these functions. For more information, see Secure Template Overloads.
