    integer to constant char w/o using itoa()

    Let's say I'm using a compiler that uses only the functions defined by the ANSI/ISO C?C++ standard. Therefore, itoa() function is not available to me. How can I convert and integer such as 72086 to a constant character and then count the number of characters (in the case of 72086 five(5) )?

    Wow, just had this question a week ago. Next term, search the board first.
    You'll find several different ways of doing it here.
