Converts a numeric value to std::string.
Let buf
be an internal to the conversion functions buffer, sufficiently large to contain the result of conversion.
Converts a signed integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%d", value).
2)Converts a signed integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%ld", value).
3)Converts a signed integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%lld", value).
4)Converts an unsigned integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%u", value).
5)Converts an unsigned integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%lu", value).
6)Converts an unsigned integer to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%llu", value).
7,8)Converts a floating point value to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%f", value).
9)Converts a floating point value to a string as if by
std::sprintf(buf, "%Lf", value).
(until C++26) 1-9)Converts a numeric value to a string as if by
std::format("{}", value).
(since C++26) [edit] Parameters value - a numeric value to convert [edit] Return valueA string holding the converted value.
[edit] ExceptionsMay throw std::bad_alloc from the std::string constructor.
[edit] Notesstd::to_string
may yield unexpected results as the number of significant digits in the returned string can be zero, see the example.std::cout
prints by default, see the example.std::to_string
relies on the current C locale for formatting purposes, and therefore concurrent calls to std::to_string
from multiple threads may result in partial serialization of calls.
C++17 provides std::to_chars as a higher-performance locale-independent alternative.
[edit] Example#include <cstdio> #include <format> #include <initializer_list> #include <iostream> #include <string> #if __cpp_lib_to_string >= 202306L constexpr auto revision() { return " (post C++26)"; } #else constexpr auto revision() { return " (pre C++26)"; } #endif int main() { for (const double f : {1.23456789555555, 23.43, 1e-9, 1e40, 1e-40, 123456789.0}) { std::cout << "to_string:\t" << std::to_string(f) << revision() << '\n'; // Before C++26, the output of std::to_string matches std::printf. std::printf("printf:\t\t%f\n", f); // As of C++26, the output of std::to_string matches std::format. std::cout << std::format("format:\t\t{}\n", f); std::cout << "std::cout:\t" << f << "\n\n"; } }
