to_string works with the latest C++ versions like version 11. For older versions you can try using this function
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
template <typename T>
std::string ToString(T val)
{
std::stringstream stream;
stream << val;
return stream.str();
}
By adding a template you can use any data type too. You have to include #include<sstream>
here.
