how to covert a numeric to a character string

Not sure entirely what you mean. If you're asking how you can convert a number stored in an integer (e.g. 25343) to a printable string, then you're looking at sprintf() or _ltoa (the latter might possibly be compiler-specific, I'm not sure). If this ISN'T what you're asking I think you need to clarify the question.

er...sorry about that, wat i really want to ask is for example if i key in a numeric number 3 then the output will be a character "three" anf if i key in 4 it will return a character string "four". i wondder what string library should used..

What is the range of numbers?

What is the big problem. Let's create an arrays with text description and parse the number in the correct range.
{"zero","one","two",..,"nine"};
{"eleven", "twelve", "thirteen",..., "nineteen"}
{"ten","twenty",..."ninety"}
{"hundred", "thousand", "million"}
I think it is standard task for students.

Well, there isn't a standard library function to do what you want, so you'll have to write your own. AlexNek has pointed you along the right path, I suspect.

Hi ChristopherNoel

Please convert the above program...
....
....
....
char *a[5] = { " Hundred", " Thousand", " Lakhs", " Crore", " Arab" } ;

      ----------To---------

char *a[5] = { " Hundred", " Thousand", " Million", " Million", " Trillion" } ;

The above Numbering system we use in India... You can change to your country's format ..
