How can int data be converted to char data

[Guest_imported]

I believe atoi() would be used, but how?


struct CarType
{
char MFG;
char Model;
char Color;
char TransType;
char Doors;
char Year;
}

cout<<&quot;Vehicle must be a 1980 or newer vehicle to enter the program: &quot;<<endl;
cout<<&quot;Enter the vehicle year: &quot;;
cin>>vehYear;

if ( vehYear >= 1980 || vehyear <= 2002)
strcpy(CarType.Year, vehYear)

// I am not sure how to convert the int data to char data.
// I need it to begin as int data so I can validate the year data before copying.


// Any help would be great!!

CarType.Year = (char)vehYear;

or if you want to convert &quot;vehYear&quot; to a string, you can use this:
#include<stdlib.h>
.....
...
char buffer[6];
_itoa( vehYear, buffer, 10 )
