itoa.h

This is the itoa( int n, char* s ) function, which converts an integer value to a null-terminated string. The least significant digit of an integer n is transformed to a character by using the formula: 
   n%10 + '0'
The function reverse( char* s ), used by the itoa( ), reverses the string s, for example, abcdef is reversed to fedcba.
