can any one help me with writing a function that converts a decimal
string just up to 255 to a binary using gets();
ex:
enter a number:-
255
255 in decimal strig = '11111111' in binary string

enter a number: 8
8 in decimal string = 00001000 in binary string

with the attention for writing the leading zeros at the first of the binary string
thanks

Hello,

Each 0 or 1 has a numerical value that is computed when calculating the 1's, which the slots are:

128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 1

If you subtract 128 from 255 and you get a positive number, then you put a 1 in the first column; otherwise you enter a zero. Then go down the line. From the new value of 127, you subtract 64 and if you get a positive number, you put a one in the 64 column; otherwise, enter zero.

And so on and so forth.

Brian

I didn't get exactly what you mean
but as we did in c++ period!!! I think you need two functions here
one for converting your char variables(obtained with get()) to integer and the second for converting an integer
to binary
_________________________________
int convertChartoInt(char ch1,char ch2,char ch3)
{
return (ch1-48)*100+(ch2-48)*10+(ch3-48);
}
void convertDecimaltoBinary(int decimal)
{
int i=8; //The number of bits
int test=128; //10000000
while(i)
{
int r=0;
if (decimal&test) r=1; //& is a logical operator for AND two operands
Console::Write(r); //write the MSB(Most Significant Bit) of your changing decimal evry time
decimal<<=1; //this shifts decimal to left one bit
i--;
}
}
-----------------------------------------------
you know in .NET you can do all of them in one line
also you could use the method Brian mentioned(sequent divisions with 2 and sequent productions by 1,10,100,... and also sequent additions for getting the the result within a decimal number)
I realy didn't get what I said!!!!:D:D
-----------------------------------
int i=1;
int result;
while(decimal)
{
r=decimal%2;
decimal/=2;
result+=r*i;
i*=10
}
--------------------------------
Then change the output forrmat for printing the leading zeros.

I'm waiting for your better idea.

thanks guys ..
but there is a problem with converting my decimal (STRING) i think bmains is treating the decimal as an integer while its as a string...Oram i wrong??


and mehdi62b i have a question for u ..what if u are passing just 2 characters to the function like the number 14 or 13 qhat happens ...thanks guys i am only a newbee so bare with me thanks,,,

Dear se7ss write another two functions for overloading one digit and two digits.
meanwhile,params Array(in .NET or maybe in c++)could be a good method

Look in MSDN in contents under
Visual Studio .NET
  .NET Framework
    Programming with the .NET Framework
      Working with Base Types
        Customizing Format Strings

The example shows how to convert an integer into binary and returns it in string format.
