What's wrong with that method is that it's using the standard library,
which was explicitly not available. C++ kind of hides the fact that
you're essentially calling itoa() when you do out << in there, once
you go through the overloaded function that implements <<, etc.
So, try doing it again in plain C without using any standard library
functions.
