itoa

I'm having a little trouble with itoa(). Can some one please show me a little example of how to use it.
What I'm trying to do is make a 6 character string based on the time. Here is what I have:

Code:

#include <dos.h>

main()
{
struct time t;
char name[2];
int result;
gettime(&t);
result=itoa(t.ti_hour,name,0);
printf("%s",result);
}

I know I must be calling itoa function wrong but I'm not really sure how. Also can anyone explain the radix value to me? Or at least what value it should be.

Thanks alot,

Thantos

the radix arguement specifies the base of the number such as the string out will be binary(base 2), octal(base 8), decimal(base 10), hexidecimal(base 16) or up to whatever base 36 is.

so your call should look like so

Code:

#include <dos.h>

main()
{
    struct time t;
    char name[2]; // this needs to be large enough to hold the int you are gonna convert
// while 2 will hold the hour 9 would hold anything.
    char* result; // Note this is a char* not an int
    gettime(&t);
    result=itoa(t.ti_hour,name,0);
    printf("%s",result); // or printf("%s",name);
}

Thanks for the help. Worked like a charm.

Thantos
