itoa() is used to convert integer to string

Converts an integer value to a null-terminated string using the specified base.

If base is 10 and value is negative, the resulting string is preceded with a minus sign (-). With any other base, value is always considered unsigned.

Since C doesn't define an itoa function, it's application could be anything at all.

By contrast, the atoi function is used to convert a string representation of an integer value to an actual integer value.  However, atoi absolutely sucks for this purpose as there's no way to detect a failure; use strtol instead.
