Convert an integer to a hex string in C++

In this program we will see how to convert an integer to hex string. To convert an integer into hexadecimal string we can follow mathematical steps. But in this case we have solved this problem using simple trick.

Step 2: Make a string after converting number using %X format specifier
Step 3: Print the result.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
main() {
   int n;
   char hex_string[20];
   cout << "Enter a number: ";
