Thread: Quarternary numbers.

Hey,
im trying to print an integer to stdout in octal, hexadecimal, and quarternary number form.
I know that for octal:

Code:

printf("%03o ", c);

and for hexidecimal

Code:

printf("%02X ", c);

but what about quarternary?

thanks

Use something other than printf(). Not too difficult. If you need help with the source just say so. Otherwise, just break out a notepad and work on it.

What do you mean ?
I m trying to convert 100s of numbers from decimal to quarternary.
Does printf have the functionality to print quarternary form?

Nope. And its possible, just not with printf(). You will have to write your own function. I have something important to do right now so hang tight and I can walk you through some source.

use a recursive function to repeatedly divide the number by 4 until the quotient becomes zero while printing out the remainder.
