I started with Ryan's code from `~r` and tried to emulate some special cases I see the C code (and didn't worry about negative numbers) and ended up with something 4-5x slower than the C code version. :( Code follows.
Robby #lang racket (define (number->string* N) (cond [(zero? N) (string #\0)] [else (let* ([short-size 10] [str (make-string short-size)]) (let loop ([N N] [digits null] [i short-size]) (cond [(zero? N) (if (<= i 0) (if (null? digits) str (string-append (apply string digits) str)) (substring str i short-size))] [else (define-values (q r) (quotient/remainder N 10)) (define d (integer->char (+ r (char->integer #\0)))) (cond [(<= i 0) (loop q (cons d digits) i)] [else (string-set! str (- i 1) d) (loop q '() (- i 1))])])))])) (module+ test (require rackunit) (check-equal?
