Quick C++ question

how can i get the length of a integer ...i.e. how many characters it would take up on the screen ...<br /><br />damn i hate formatting c++ programs using cout ! <br /><br />LOL,<br /><br />laters,<br />Chris

The quick and dirty method might be to convert the integer to ascii - itoa() - and get the length from that using strlen(). I'm sure there's a more elegent way to do it, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

elegent = elegant<br /><br />How come we can't correct typos..? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

if your formatting with cout you should use something like ios setw to eg. right align numbers in nice colums.

**First be sure to include the string.h header<br /><br />Copy the integer to another variable (so you can still use it to add/sub etc with out typcasting back), type cast the new variable to a string then use the strlen() function.<br /><br /> int length_of_var = strlen(string_variable);<br /> <br />length_of_var would be the length of the integer at this pont you can apply this variable directly in to setw or pressision<br /><br />Copy the integer to another variable (so you can still use it to add/sub etc with out typecasting back), type cast the new variable to a string then use the strlen() function.<br /><br /> int length_of_var = strlen(string_variable);<br /> <br />length_of_var would be the length of the integer at this point you can apply this variable directly in to setw and/or setprecision manipulators.<br /><br />Late,<br /><br />Kyle

damn you guys are pathetic...<br /><br />len=(i==0)?1:(int)floor(log10(10*i));<br /><br />len is the lenght, i is your integer.<br /><br />this one will work for positive integers only. just use your brain and expand the code if you need it for the negative integers also.

...and dont forget to include the math.h header
