return string value of octal

Hello,

How can I return the string value of octal value.
i.e.
int i;
i = 9 (the octal value is 11),

what should I put at the following line ? :
sprintf(s, "% .... what should I put here ?", i);


Thanks :)

Also, how can I represent in code the integer octal value
int i;
i = 077 ? - is 077 octal ?

Thanks :)

Yes, it is. Any integral literal that begins with 0 is octal.

%o, maybe? Have you tried RTFM on 'sprintf' to see all
the formats available?

If you use C++ you can use stringstream:

using namespace std;
streamstring ss;
ss << oct << 9;
string strOctal = ss.str();

Hi Eitan,

I think the %o (oh) method would work for you, but it won't put the '0' on
the front of the number.
