Detailed Description

Convert a positive integer to string (non-standard function) representation.

Function Documentation

int_to_string()

char * int_to_string	(	uint16_t	value,
		char *	dest,
		int	base
	)

Converts an integer value to a null-terminated string using the specified base and stores the result in the array given by str parameter.

Parameters

value	Value to be converted to a string.
dest	pointer to array in memory to store the resulting null-terminated string.
base	Numerical base used to represent the value as a string, between 2 and 16, where 10 means decimal base, 16 hexadecimal, 8 octal, and 2 binary.

Returns

A pointer to the resulting null-terminated string, same as parameter str.

Note

The destination array must be pre-allocated by the calling function.

                              '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f'};
 
    int len = 0;
    do
    {
        dest[len++] = hex_table[value % base];
        value /= base;
    } while (value != 0);
 
    /* reverse characters */
    for (int i = 0, limit = len / 2; i < limit; ++i)
    {
        char t = dest[i];

        dest[len - 1 - i] = t;
