Int to String

Is there any code to change an integer (0r number) into a string.
I need this for the following example;

iCounter = 2257 
 
# here i would like to place a code that changes the iCounter Int into a string.
 
for i in range(100):
    image("IMG_"+ iCounter +".jpg", 0, 0)
    iCounter += 1

Certainly, just use the str() command:

image("IMG_"+ str(iCounter) +".jpg", 0, 0)

This also works:image("IMG_%s.jpg"%iCounter, 0, 0)See here for more on string formatting.

Oops, that didn't work, let me try again:
This also works:

image("IMG_%s.jpg"%iCounter, 0, 0)
