I do not know how to google

If you are not trolling us ;)
I can tell you its old C style where param type is listed after the parameter and
itoa is function to convert integer to a string.

"itoa" is not the question :) sorry
char *ifunction_name(i)
int i;
{
...
just the structure

mrjj

Its very old c style where the type of the parameters are NOT up with the name, but listed after.
so nowadays we write
char *ifunction_name(int i)
{

Its called k&r style and is from those who made c

@wally123
hi on first post, to the right side / under post, is "Topic Tools", there is a mark as solved.

@mrjj
can not find "mark as solved"
I just can choose "Delete Topic" and "Ask a question"
(the new forum is not very convenient, at least I do not understand it)

Hi, its not the Gear icon.
First post, under the topic, to the right. Next to Reply.
There is "Topic Tools" button.

deleted28

no, not for me:
I'm locked in and see in the pop-up of "Topic Tools" button under the topic, to the right. Next to Reply only:
"Delete Topic"
"Ask as question"
I would like to append a little screenshot of this area, but this is another challenge.

mrjj

Hi,
You have asked without it being question.
Could you try to press "Ask as question"
and then check if it now allows to "solved"

deleted28

Yes, seems to work now.
Anyway strange. Usually I add a "?" on the end of a sentence to mark it as a question. I do not get the sense of this (yet)
thank you!

@wally123
well after the update, the forum supports non question topics.
So for some reason it was posted as such,
