Length of a string as string

How to convert integer to string in C?

I would like to calculate the length of the string and pass the value to a function as a string.

char* s="abcd";
int i = strlen(s);
char* lengthAsString = ????(i);

Converting an int to a string in C has to be a duplicate question. — Wug, Nov 02 '12 at 14:41

@Eregrith - It's Cplusplus site, but that section is the C Library and correct for a C program. — Mike, Nov 02 '12 at 15:12

char* s = "abcd";
int i = strlen(s);
char lengthAsString[50];
sprintf(lengthAsString, "%d", i);

// now you can use lengthAsString to pass it to a function
