Example code from Wikipedia:
/* The following function will print a non-negative number, n, to
the base b, where 2<=b<=10. This routine uses the fact that
in the ASCII character set, the digits 0 to 9 have sequential
code values. */
printn(n, b) {
extrn putchar;
auto a;
if (a = n / b) /* assignment, not test for equality */
printn(a, b); /* recursive */
putchar(n % b + '0');
}
