Drawing int or double with sf::String

[nullGrind]

Hello

I would like to draw changing numbers (type int or double) with sf::String.
Is there a way to do so?
I would like to display a changing highscore.

You could cast it into a std::string and set it as text of the sf::String.

Code: [Select]

// Converts an int into a string
static inline std::string int2Str(int x)
{
std::stringstream type;
type << x;
return type.str();
}

Thanks. Didnt thought about just casting it.

itoa or sprintf

itoa or sprintf

These are both functions from the C standard library and should be used carefully (regarding problems like buffer overflows, memory management and these). In a lot of cases, std::stringstream is easier and safer to use.

Nevertheless it's good that you posted an alternative. I just wanted to hint at some related issues.

My easy to use solution now is:

Code: [Select]

std::ostringstream StrP2;
StrP2 << scoreP2;
std::string scoreP2(StrP2.str());

You could cast it into a std::string and set it as text of the sf::String.

// Converts an int into a string
static inline std::string int2Str(int x)
{
std::stringstream type;
type << x;
return type.str();
}

Sorry to bump an old thread, but this was the exact problem I was working on. Unfortunately I ran into a problem using the quoted code: I get "incomplete type is not allowed" with regards to the "type" in that code.

EDIT: *sigh* my bad, I assumed that StringStream would be included in iostream.

Just for future people finding this via a search engine: std::to_string.
