Error:‘itoa’ was not declared in this scope

There's no itoa in the standard, but in C++11 you can use the std::to_string functions.

n C++11 you can use std::to_string. If this is not available to you, you can use a std::stringstream:

std::stringstream ss; int x = 23;
ss << x;
std::string str = ss.str();

If this is too verbose, there is boost::lexical_cast. There are some complaints about the performance of lexical_cast and std::stringstream, so watch out if this is important to you.

Another option is to use a Boost.Karma, a sublibrary of Spirit. It comes out ahead in most benchmarks.

Usually, itoa is a bad idea. It is neither part of the C nor C++ standard. You can take some care to identify the platforms that support it and use it conditionally, but why should you, when there are better solutions.
