Alternative to int2str without using sprintf or other like functions?

I'm looking to code int2str without using int2str, basically, but i only need the numbers.

Right now I have

number=input %lets say its 90 int2str(number); '90'

But I would like a different way to do this without using matlab internal function like -printf

Why the grudge against sprintf()? Do you hold a grudge against num2str() also? If not, then do this:

strNumber = num2str(number);

I just want to see another way to do this. Can we pretend I have a grudge just for this example

I see. So you just want to see how complicated it could get. Well here's one complicated way:

number = 90
tensDigit = floor(a/10)
onesDigit = mod(a,10)
numberStringVersion = [char('0' + tensDigit), char('0' + onesDigit)]

I'm sure other people can also think of complicated ways, but why? Just curiosity?

Yeah, it's interesting knowing how to code from scratch just for fun or knowledge I suppose. I ended making a huge complicated concatenation that tore a number apart into part of an array of each digit, then making a large switch case for each digit 0-9. Thank you!

OK, glad to help. Can you mark the answer as Accepted then?
