So... my bf is working on a program in VB on converting decimal numbers to binary numbers... i vaguely remember doing it in C++ LONG time ago... i was just wondering...if someone could refresh my memory of how to do it... you don't have to give code.. just explanation... because i remember doing it... but i don't use c++ any more so my coding is rusty....
Thx

While there are several tools to convert decimal numbers to binary, this page shows the two most common ways to do it. It's easy to translate the method into code.

Whoa, what's up Amy!

[miaka284]

thx.... i have an idea of what to do... we will see... cuz there's another part to it.. that i absolutely don't understand... but i'll do more research on it...

I'm not sure what you mean by more to it, but I'll try to help if you can explain it to me. The division method is uusally the easiest to represent in code. You can use the algorithm outlined here
I may be misunderstanding your question, however. If so, my apologies.

Inside joke... you wouldn't understand.

Wierd....I thought every1 out here knew how to convert Decimal to Binary....well since noone gave the method anyhow....here's my code...simple as it is....still if you have any problems let me know.
There are many ways of doing this...out of which I'll explain two. Here's the First one...in which you dont even have to bother about how the conversion is done:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void main()
{
int i=23;
char c[23];
clrscr();
cout<<"Enter any Number in Decimal to be converted in Binary\n";
cin>>i;
cout<<itoa(i,c,2);
getch();
}

Here's the Second Method:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>


void main()
{
      int i, ch;
      cout<<"Enter an integer: ";
      cin>>ch;
      for(i=0x80;i;i=i>>1)
	cout<<((ch&i)?'1':'0');

      getch();
      /*
      these 2 lines are equivalent to:
      i=0x80; //10000000 in binary
      while (i!=0)
          {
         	 if (ch&i)
            cout<<'1';
         	 else
            cout<<'0';
         	 i>>1;
          }
       */
       	 
}

Hope It helps you all.

Man....real bad formatting style...the CODE tags really ruin everything up....I'm attaching the 2 methods of converting Decimal to Binary as 2 Source Code Files.

Great...I gotta reply again to add both the files...I think an improvement to this forums would be to attach multiple files. Or do they want us to attach ZIP Archives instead?
In any case....i'll reply once more...
This is the First Method

Excellent methods. I'm not sure I'd agree that everyone would know how to do the conversion, there are several groups here, many of which deal with graphics and subjects other that programming.
