Get over it and use a function call anyway.

/* BEGIN new.c output */

55
65535

/* END new.c output */




/* BEGIN new.c */

#include <stdio.h>

void utoa(unsigned n, char *s);

int 
main(void)
{
    int i;
    char mytxt[sizeof "65535"];

    puts("/* BEGIN new.c output */\n");    
    i = 55;
    utoa(i, mytxt);
    puts(mytxt);    
    i = 65535;
    utoa(i, mytxt);
    puts(mytxt);
    puts("\n/* END new.c output */");
    return 0;
}

void 
utoa(unsigned n, char *s)
{
     unsigned tenth;
     char *p, swap;
     
     p = s;
     tenth = n;
     do {
         tenth /= 10;
         *p++ = (char)(n - 10 * tenth + '0');
     } while ((n = tenth) != 0);  
     *p-- = '\0';
     while (p > s) {
         swap = *s;
         *s++ = *p;
         *p-- = swap;
     } 
}

/* END new.c */
