    Post Print decimal in 32 bit binary

    Hello my exercise is to convert a decimal to binary. but it has to give out as 32 bit. For example:
    ---
    value: 5
    5 = 0b00000000000000000000000000000101
    ---
    I know how to convert it to binary but i dont no how to print it, that it looks like the example above.
    Code:
    This is my code:
    #include <inttypes.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    void print_binary(uint32_t value){
        if (value == 0)
        {
            printf("%" PRIu32, 0);
            return;
        }
        else {
            print_binary(value/2);
            printf("%" PRIu32,(value%2));
        }
        }
    
    
    int main (void){
    
    
        uint32_t value;
        
        scanf("%" SCNu32, &value);
        printf("value: \n%u = ",value);
        print_binary(value);
    
    
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    }

    You'll need a for loop, say 32 iterations.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
