Using itoa() to convert an integer to ASCII characters

I am using CCS C compiler v5.078 within MPLAB IDE v8.92.

I tried to convert a 16-bit integer to four ASCII characters with the following code:

Basic answer. No...

itoa is a standard C function, and does not do this.

In standard C, there would be a simple answer by using sprintf, to transfer
to a second string. This normally supports '-' as a format specifier to
right justify. Unfortunately this is a specifier that CCS lacks....

However, provided you don't mind leading zeros, there is a simple answer:

Thank you so much, Ttelmah.

Yes, the sprintf gives the exact results we are looking for (we need the leading zeros in character form).

We also have a need to put two 8-bit integers into a character array, and I tried, as an example, the following sprintf code:

Brilliant.

Glad it was what you wanted.
