With QT C++ what are the ways to convert between an ascii integer and a string in both directions

AI_Messiah

I am not talking about numbers I mean the actual ascii values. I have tried to do this:

string chr(int a)
{
     string b;
     b = char(a);
     return b;
}

and this:

apart = part.toStdString()[0];
val = int(apart)

I get this error:

mainwindow.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > __cdecl MainWindow::chr(int)" (?chr@MainWindow@@AEAA?AV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@H@Z) referenced in function "public: __cdecl MainWindow::MainWindow(class QWidget *)" (??0MainWindow@@QEAA@PEAVQWidget@@@Z)

and

C:\Users\damon\Documents\QT\build-markov-Desktop_Qt_6_1_1_MSVC2019_64bit-Debug\debug\markov.exe:-1: error: LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I hate these error codes the most because they make the least amount of sense, but anyway?

unresolved external symbol

Your chr() is defined in header file as method of MainWindow, right? But in source file, you did not define it - it should read:

string MainWindow::chr(int a)

numbers I mean the actual ascii values

But they are the same! ASCII table is just a bunch of numbers. Anyway, if you have an ASCII code, like 'A' or 65, you can do this:

const QString myCharacter(QChar(65));
qDebug() << myCharacter;

And to go the other way:

qDebug() << int(myCharacter.toLatin1().at(0));;
