I'm pulling my hair out to simply take a number say 37 and convert it to a
string under Tango

int x = 37
Char[] y = intToString(x);

how the blazes do I make this simple little thing work??

see http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/ChapterConversions#Integer


import Integer = tango.text.convert.Integer;

...

int x = 37;
char[] y = toString(x);

For your example:

import tango.text.convert.Integer;
...
int x =3D 37;
char[] y =3D toString(x);

That sounds too much deep, what about something like:

import tango.text;
auto s = toString(37);

Or:

import tango.text;
auto s = str(37);

Or (no imports, but this requires compiler support):

auto s = cast(string)37;

Or maybe best of all:

auto s = string(37);

I think the design of a good simple way of doing things is very important.

In addtion to what others said, you can use the Convert module, that
does type convertions between various types. It uses the
to!( TargetType )
template function


import tango.util.Convert;

int x = 37
char[] y = to!(char[])(x);

There actually is a third way.
You can use the formatter

import tanto.text.convert.Format;

int x = 37;
char[] y1 = Format( "{} = 0x{:X4}", x ); // "37 = 0x0025"

I found the convert module easiest to follow as a newbie-thanks
