Converts a numeric value to std::wstring.

Let buf be an internal to the conversion functions buffer, sufficiently large to contain the result of conversion. 1) Converts a signed decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%d", value). 2) Converts a signed decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%ld", value). 3) Converts a signed decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%lld", value). 4) Converts an unsigned decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%u", value). 5) Converts an unsigned decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%lu", value). 6) Converts an unsigned decimal integer to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%llu", value). 7,8) Converts a floating point value to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%f", value). 9) Converts a floating point value to a wide string as if by std::swprintf(buf, sz, L"%Lf", value).

(until C++26)

1-9) Converts a numeric value to a wide string as if by std::format(L"{}", value).

(since C++26)

Parameters

value

-

a numeric value to convert

Return value

A wide string holding the converted value.

Exceptions

May throw std::bad_alloc from the std::wstring constructor.

Example

Run this code

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    for (const double f : {23.43, 1e-9, 1e40, 1e-40, 123456789.0})
        std::wcout << "std::wcout: " << f << '\n'
                   << "to_wstring: " << std::to_wstring(f) << "\n\n";
}

Output:

std::wcout: 23.43
to_wstring: 23.430000
 
std::wcout: 1e-09
to_wstring: 0.000000
 
std::wcout: 1e+40
