No. Why not write one?
#include <stdio.h>
const char *int2txt(int i)
{
static char text[20] = {0};
sprintf(text, "%d", i);
return text;
Quote:
}
int main()
{
const char *p = int2txt(42);
printf("%s\n", p);
return 0;

Right. There is no function 'itoa' in standard C.

It's closest equivalent is 'sprintf()'.
