Your code works fine.

You should take the time to understand my earlier post because it contains
standard C procedures that must be mastered. I did not use itoa but instead
performed the dirty trick of adding 48 to convert a digit to an ascii
character.

Paul was too polite to point out that my code is straight out of the Ark.
His posts show proper procedures, but from your stated aims, you need to
master the basic C skills, even if they are ugly.

Another point, probably unimportant. You could extract the three digits
that you want from one call to rand, as below:
  int n = rand();
  itoa((n%10),a,10);
  itoa(((n/10)%10),b,10);
  itoa(((n/100)%10),c,10);
