/* ltoa example */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main () { long i; char buffer [sizeof(long)*8+1]; printf ("Enter a number: "); scanf ("%d",&i); ltoa (i,buffer,10); printf ("decimal: %s/n",buffer); ltoa (i,buffer,16); printf ("hexadecimal: %s/n",buffer); ltoa (i,buffer,2); printf ("binary: %s/n",buffer); return 0; }
Convert long integer value to string.
Converts a long integer value to a null-terminated string using the specified radix and stores the result in the given buffer.
If radix is 10 and value is negative the string is preceded by the minus sign (-). With any other radix, value is always considered unsigned.
buffer should be large enough to contain any possible value: (sizeof(long)*8+1) for radix=2.
Parameters.
-
value
- Value to be represented as a string. buffer
- Buffer where to store the resulting string. radix
- Numeral radix in which value has to be represented, between 2 and 36.
Return Value.
A pointer to the string.
Portability.
