convert an integer number into an array

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;
}

You could calculate the number of digits in an integer with logarithm rather than a loop. Thus,

int * toArray(int number)
{
    int n = log10(number) + 1;
    int i;
    int *numberArray = calloc(n, sizeof(int));
    for ( i = 0; i < n; ++i, number /= 10 )
    {
        numberArray[i] = number % 10;
    }
    return numberArray;
}

Hint: Take a look at this earlier question "Sum of digits in C#". It explains how to extract the digits in the number using several methods, some relevant in C.

From Greg Hewgill's answer:

/* count number of digits */
int c = 0; /* digit position */
int n = number;

while (n != 0)
{
    n /= 10;
    c++;
}

int numberArray[c];

c = 0;    
n = number;

/* extract each digit */
while (n != 0)
{
    numberArray[c] = n % 10;
    n /= 10;
    c++;
}
