Void as an int?

This void prints the rfid value on the lcd screen;
1
2
3
4
5
6
void dump_byte_array(byte *buffer, byte bufferSize) {   
        for (byte x=0; x < bufferSize; x++){
        lcd.print(buffer[x] < 16 ? "0" :""); //value cannot be bigger than 16 digits
          lcd.print(buffer[x], HEX);
    }
       }


When you include the void in the loop();
dump_byte_array(mfrc522.uid.uidByte, mfrc522.uid.size);
its like that, but I wanna store the value it gives out as a int. So I can make name tags for each rfid card. ex;
1

 if(valueoncard=="81949B75"){ 
    
    lcd.print("Name1");
    
  }else if(valueoncard=="839FA9D5"){ 
    
    lcd.print("Name2");
    
  }else if(dvalueoncard=="938C8F00"){ 
    
    lcd.print("Name3");
    
  }else if(valueoncard=="45E09F2C"){ 
    
    lcd.print("Name4");
    
  }else{
    
    lcd.print("Your card has not been entered into the database. Sorry frown emoticon");
  }


Hope this kinda makes sense. :/

Thanks for the help guys!

This is what everything looks like so far, we can make it print the value, but we want it to print out names.

You don't need to convert to int. You can compare them with memcmp:

Or is there a particular reason for converting to int aside from comparing?
