C Program For Long to String Conversion

Last Updated : 03 Aug, 2022

To convert the long to string in C language we will use the following 2 approaches:

Using Macros with sprintf
Using sprintf

Input:

long = 1234

Output:

string 1234

1. Using Macros and sprintf

// C Program for Long to 
// String Conversion
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define Max_Digits 10
int main()
{
    long N = 1243;
    char str[Max_Digits + sizeof(char)];
    sprintf(str, "%ld", N);
    printf("string is: %s \n", str);
}

Output

string is: 1243

2. Using Sprintf

// C Program for Long to String Conversion
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

    long x = 1234;
    char str[256];
    sprintf(str, "%ld", x);
    printf("The string is : %s", str);
    return 0;
}
