NumToString

Convert 32-bit integer to string of decimal digits

#include <BDC.h> Binary-Dec. Pack.

void NumToString(theNum, theString );

long theNum ; 32-bit signed value to convert

Str255 theString ; address of buffer to receive p- string

NumToString creates a string of decimal digits representing the value of a

32-bit signed integer.

theNum is a signed long integer.

theString is the address of a buffer. Upon return, it will contain a

pascal-style length-prefixed string of decimal digits. If the number

is less than 0, the string will start with a minus sign. Leading zeros

are removed, except that if theNum is 0, theString is "0".

Note: The theString buffer need be no longer than 12 bytes (a

length byte, a minus sign, and 10 digits).

Notes: The range is from -2,147,483,647 to +2,147,483,648.

No comma-insertion or other formatting is performed.

Example

char numStr[12];

long theNum;

NumToString( theNum, numStr );

DrawString( "\pThe value of the number is: " );

DrawString( numStr );
