How to convert int to string without stdlib in Ballerina?

I would like to convert int to string:

int count = 1;
string val = <string>count;

the above gives me 'int' cannot be cast to 'string'

Is there a utility method to achieve this. I always have to search for this solution and thought this question would document the answer.

I think I can maybe use io:sprintf and I can print using , separation in io:println, but I would like to do this without stdlib.

Also in Ballerina we cannot concat a string and int as follows:

string val = "hello " + count;

what is the easiest way to do this?

We can use toString() to convert int to string.

int count = 1;
string val = count.toString();
