convert an integer number into an array

by

This would work for numbers >= 0

#include <math.h>

char * convertNumberIntoArray(unsigned int number) {
    int length = (int)floor(log10((float)number)) + 1;
    char * arr = new char[length];
    int i = 0;
    do {
        arr[i] = number % 10;
        number /= 10;
        i++;
    } while (number != 0);
    return arr;
}

EDIT: Just a little bit more C style but more cryptic.

#include <math.h>

char * convertNumberIntoArray(unsigned int number) {
    unsigned int length = (int)(log10((float)number)) + 1;
    char * arr = (char *) malloc(length * sizeof(char)), * curr = arr;
    do {
        *curr++ = number % 10;
        number /= 10;
    } while (number != 0);
    return arr;
}
