how can i convert 01 an integer into January etc in c++ coding?

Question

currently programming in c++ for a uni module, need to convert the integer 01 into a word, i.e. 01 = january, 02 = feb...etc..

any help welcome :D

Answer 1

char *Months[] = { "January", "February", "March", ... "December"};

char *GetMonth( int Index )
{
return( Months[Index - 1] ); // Note -1 because first month is 1 not 0
}

Answer 2

Martins answer is fine but an other way would be to use nested if statements or even a switch, eg:

in pseudo code:

int month;

if(month==1)return jan;
if(month==2)return feb;

or

String month;
int monthint;

if(monthint==1)month = "jan";

something like that...
