Why would you need to do this? The decimal and hexadecimal values are the
same. Just use itoa() on the decimal value (which is already the character
value). Perhaps I am misuderstanding the question?

31h = (16)*3+1 = 48+1 = 49

char *_itoa( int value, char *string, int radix );
/* The radix parameter is the base you want your string is: */

itoa(49,myString,2); /* myString = "110001" */
itoa(49,myString,10); /* myString = "49" */
itoa(49,myString,16); /* myString = "31" */

Make sense? Good luck!
