Thread: bit pattern

/* the code fragment below is real one...done all by myself..*/

Code:

main()
{
int len,i;
char a[]="abcdefg";
len=strlen(a);
for(i=0; i<len; i++)
   printf("%2d ",a[i]);
}

the above code outputs decimal values, of the given string as:-(97 98 99..)

/* this code below is a stolen one */

Code:

void bit(int);
main()
{
int val=15;
printf("bitpattern is:");
bit(val);
}

void bit(int n)
{
int m,i;
for(i=15; i>=0; i--)
   {
    m=1<<i;
    if((n&m)==0)
       {
       printf("0");
       }
       else
       {
       printf("1");
       }
    }
}

here it gives the bit patterns of a given decimal say 15, as (00001111).

how do i combine these two functionalities..to get the bit pattern of a given string..?
thank you..!

Please read this forum's homework policy.

And a pet peeve of mine...

It's not main()... The minimum skeleton for a proper C program is...

Code:

int main (void)
  {

    // your code here
  
    return 0; }

With rare exceptions (such as in microcontroller C) the operating system is expecting the function to be prototyped as int main (void) and it is expecting a return value that is either 0 (for success) or an error code.
