Interesting question! I would assume str() and int() to use a similar algorithm, but I never looked at their actual implementation, so this is just speculation. Also, as a general rule I thought one shouldn't rely on implementation details since they could change (admittedly, quite unlikely for something as basic as this though). > sense I thought it is still the same algo, and it was simpler to present it that > way.
