binary representation c++
To convert a decimal number to its binary representation in C++, you can follow the steps below:
Define the decimal number: Start by defining the decimal number you want to convert to binary. For example, let's say we want to convert the number 10 to binary.
Initialize variables: Initialize a variable to hold the decimal number and another variable to store the binary representation. For example:
cpp
int decimalNumber = 10;
string binaryRepresentation = "";
- Perform the conversion: Use a loop to repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2 and store the remainder. Append the remainder to the binary representation string. Continue this process until the decimal number becomes 0. For example:
cpp
while (decimalNumber > 0) {
int remainder = decimalNumber % 2;
binaryRepresentation = to_string(remainder) + binaryRepresentation;
decimalNumber /= 2;
}
- Print the binary representation: Finally, you can print or use the binary representation string as needed. For example:
cpp
cout << "Binary representation: " << binaryRepresentation << endl;
The output for the decimal number 10 would be:
Binary representation: 1010
This process can be used to convert any decimal number to its binary representation in C++.
