    Almost, but not quite, Mr. Grover.  The *really* correct version of this:
    
            char *itoa(int i)
              {
                static char retbuf[5];         /* biggest int: 32768 */
                sprintf(retbuf, "%d", i);
                return retbuf;
              }
    
Should'nt the *really really correct* version allocate an extra character
in the retbuf array for the end of string delimiter \0 ???

I will just say that a *just a little bit more correct* version should
read:

       static char retbuf[6];         /* biggest int: 32768 */
