Converting an integer into it's binary equivalent - c++

Question

I have an assignment to make a program that should convert a number from it's integer value to a binary value. For some reason my array is always filled with zeroes and won't add "1"'s from my if statements. I know there are probably solutions to this assignment on internet but I would like to understand what is problem with my code. Any help is appreciated.
Here is what I tried:
#include <iostream>
/*Write a code that will enable input of one real number in order to write out it's binary equivalent.*/
int main() {
int number;
int binaryNumber[32] = { 0 };
std::cout << "Enter your number: ";
std::cin >> number;
while (number > 0) {
int i = 0;
if ((number / 10) % 2 == 0) {
binaryNumber[i] = 0;
}
if ((number / 10) % 2 != 0) {
binaryNumber[i] = 1;
}
number = number / 10;
i++;
}
for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--) {
std::cout << binaryNumber[i];
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

You need to remove number/10 in both the if statements. Instead, just use number. you need the last digit every time to get the ith bit.
Moreover, you need to just half the number in every iteration rather than doing it /10.
// Updated Code
int main() {
int number;
int binaryNumber[32] = { 0 };
std::cout << "Enter your number: ";
std::cin >> number;
int i = 0;
while (number > 0) {
if (number % 2 == 0) {
binaryNumber[i] = 0;
}
if (number % 2 != 0) {
binaryNumber[i] = 1;
}
number = number / 2;
i++;
}
for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--) {
std::cout << binaryNumber[i];
}
return 0;
}

The first thing is the variable 'i' in the while loop. Consider it more precisely: every time you iterate over it, 'i' is recreated again and assigned the value of zero. It's the basics of the language itself.
The most relevant mistake is logic of your program. Each iteration we must take the remainder of division by 2, and then divide our number by 2.
The correct code is:
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int x = 8;
bool repr[32]{};
int p = 0;
while(x)
{
repr[p] = x % 2;
++p;
x /= 2;
}
for(int i = 31; i >= 0; --i)
std::cout << repr[i];
return 0;
}

... is always filled with zeroes ... I would like to understand what is problem with my code
int i = 0; must be before the while, having it inside you only set the index 0 of the array in your loop because i always values 0.
But there are several other problems in your code :
using int binaryNumber[32] you suppose your int are on 32bits. Do not use 32 but sizeof(int)*CHAR_BIT, and the same for your last loop in case you want to also write 0 on the left of the first 1
you look at the value of (number / 10) % 2, you must look at the value of number % 2
it is useless to do the test then its reverse, just use else, or better remove the two ifs and just do binaryNumber[i] = number & 1;
number = number / 10; is the right way when you want to produce the value in decimal, in binary you have to divide by 2
in for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--) { except for numbers needing 32 bits you will write useless 0 on the left, why not using the value of i from the while ?

Answer 4

There are some logical errors in your code.
You have taken (number/10) % 2, instead, you have to take (number %2 ) as you want the remainder.
Instead of taking i = 31, you should use this logic so you can print the following binary in reverse order:
for (int j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--)
{
cout << BinaryNumb[j];
}
Here is the code to convert an integer to its binary equivalent:
#include <iostream>
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// function to convert integer to binary
void DecBinary(int n)
{
// Array to store binary number
int BinaryNumb[32];
int i = 0;
while (n > 0)
{
// Storing remainder in array
BinaryNumb[i] = n % 2;
n = n / 2;
i++;
}
// Printing array in reverse order
for (int j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--)
{
cout << BinaryNumb[j];
}
}
// Main Program
int main()
{
int testcase;
//Loop is optional
for(int i = 0; i < testcase; i++)
{
cin >> n;
DecToBinary(n);
}
return 0;
}
