arrays - Converting int[] to String in C++

Question

I have a string defined as std::string header = "00110033"; now I need the string to hold the byte values of the digits as if its constructed like this

char data_bytes[] = { 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 3, 3};
std::string header = new std::string(data_bytes, 8).c_str());

I converted the initial string to int array using atoi. Now i'm not sure how to make the string out of it. Let me know if there is any better approach.

Answer 1

you could write a little function

string int_array_to_string(int int_array[], int size_of_array) {
  string returnstring = "";
  for (int temp = 0; temp < size_of_array; temp++)
    returnstring += itoa(int_array[temp]);
  return returnstring;
}

^untested!

a slightly different approach

string int_array_to_string(int int_array[], int size_of_array) {
  ostringstream oss("");
  for (int temp = 0; temp < size_of_array; temp++)
    oss << int_array[temp];
  return oss.str();
}
