char * itoa ( int value, char * buffer, int radix ); | stdlib.h |

Convert integer to string.
Converts an integer value to a null-terminated string using the specified
radix and stores the result in the given buffer.
If radix is 10 and value is negative the string is preceded
by the minus sign (-). With any other radix, value is
always considered unsigned.
buffer should be large enough to contain any possible value:
(sizeof(int)*8+1) for radix=2, i.e. 17 bytes in
16-bits platforms and 33 in 32-bits platforms.
Parameters.
Return Value.
A pointer to the string.
Portability.
Not defined in ANSI-C. Supported by some compilers.
Example.
/* itoa example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
main ()
{
int i;
char buffer [33];
printf ("Enter a number: ");
scanf ("%d",&i);
itoa (i,buffer,10);
printf ("decimal: %s\n",buffer);
itoa (i,buffer,16);
printf ("hexadecimal: %s\n",buffer);
itoa (i,buffer,2);
printf ("binary: %s\n",buffer);
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter a number: 1750
decimal: 1750
hexadecimal: 6d6
binary: 11011010110
