/*Function return size of string and convert signed  *
 *integer to ascii value and store them in array of  *
 *character with NULL at the end of the array        */

int itoa(int value,char *ptr)
     {
        int count=0,temp;
        if(ptr==NULL)
            return 0;   
        if(value==0)
        {   
            *ptr='0';
            return 1;
        }

        if(value<0)
        {
            value*=(-1);    
            *ptr++='-';
            count++;
        }
        for(temp=value;temp>0;temp/=10,ptr++);
        *ptr='\0';
        for(temp=value;temp>0;temp/=10)
        {
            *--ptr=temp%10+'0';
            count++;
        }
        return count;
     }
