Question

can someone just explain everything this function does, I know it converts integers to ASCII but I'm not exactly sure how

76 return output; 77 h 78 80 // Input: This function converts integers to ASCII. 81 charsint_To_ASCII(int x, char soutputvalue, int base, int sign) f 82 if (sign-1){ 83 84 85 int i, n=0; 86 char*cstr= malloc (32); x=x*-1; char *output2 malloc (32); 89 90 91 output2t0]e while (x != 0) { (x cstr[0] % base) + '0'; if (x% base > 9) { 93 n-base- (x % base); 95 strcat(output2, cstr); x/base; 98 i=0; while (i

Explanation / Answer

// Function returns the character pointer stores the ASCII form of the number

// Parameters:

// int x – The number which needs to be converted to ASCII

// char *outputvalue – which will store the ASCII result

// int base – base value of the number (x)

// int sign – sign value of the number (positive or negative)

char * int_To_ASCII(int x, char *outputvalue, int base, int sign)

{

// Checks if sign is 1 then negative number

if(sign == 1)

{

x = x * -1;

}// End of if condition

int i, n = 0;

// Dynamically allocate memory of size 32

char *cstr = malloc(32);

// Dynamically allocate memory of size 32

char *output2 = malloc(32);

// Assigns null terminated character at 0 index position

output2[0] = '';

// Loops till number is not equals to zero

while(x != 0)

{

// Calculates the remainder after dividing by base and stores it at 0 index position

cstr[0] = (x % base) + '0';

printf(" cstr[0] = %c", cstr[x]);

// Checks if remainder is greater than 9 (more than one digit)

if(x % base > 9)

{

// Subtracts the remainder after dividing by base of the number from base

n = base - (x % base);

// Resulted subtracted value is subtracted from character 'G'

// and stores it in 0 index position

// 'G' - to converts to character

cstr[0] = 'G' - n;

}// End of if condition

// Stores null character at 1 index position

cstr[1] = '';

// Concatenates the cstr data at the end of output2

strcat(output2, cstr);

// Calculates the quotient after dividing by base and stores it in x

x /= base;

}// End of while loop

// Re initializes the variable i for index to zero

i = 0;

// Loops till end of the output2 string

while(i < strlen(output2))

{

// Stores the data in reverse order

// outputvalue[i] - to store the data from first

// output2[strlen(output2) - i - 1] - to assign the data from last

outputvalue[i] = output2[strlen(output2) - i - 1];

// Increase the index by one

i++;

}// End of while loop

cstr = 0;

// Release the memory

free(cstr);

// Returns the result

return outputvalue;

}// End of the function
