If you use the standard functionality of C++ rather than C then you
should use
std::string
which I'm sure has functions for creating a string that represents a
number. I don't know for certain but I bet the string class has a
constructor taking an int.

If all you need to do is output it to a stream then the conversion is
automatic.
