Haxe Int to String

It seems AS3 has a toString() for the Number class. Is there an equivalent in Haxe? The only solution I could come up with for converting an Int to a String is a function like:

public function IntToString(i:Int):String {
    var strbuf:StringBuf = new StringBuf();
    strbuf.add(i);
    return strbuf.toString();
}

Is there a better method that I'm overlooking?

Solution

  • You don't usually need to manually convert an int to a string because the conversion is automatic.

    var i = 1;
var s = "" + i; // s is now "1"

    The "formal" way to convert any value to a string is to use Std.string():

    var s = Std.string(i);

    You could also use string interpolation:

    var s = '$i';

    The function your wrote is fine but definitely overkilling.
