Question about strings in c

Hey,
this is my code

Code:

---

for (k = 1; k < 15; k++) {                /*convert to binary*/
            putchar(number & displayMask ? '1' : '0');
            number <<= 1;
}

---

where number is an integer.
now this would display the binary form of number to stdout.
How would I assign that value to a string instead of displaying it?

thanks

What do you think? No, I'm not asking to be faecetious, but rather because if you think about how you'd do it, you learn something more than "how to copy text from a post on a forum" - something I'm sure you are already capable of doing.

I would have modified your code and just given you the answer had your code been correct to begin with.

You reap the benefits of my boredom...

Code:

---

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void Parse(int numb, char ** string);

int main()
{
        char * string = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) * 50);
        if (!string) return 0;
       
        int number = 9784;
       
        Parse(number, &string);
        printf("&#37;s\n", string);
       
        free (string);
        return 0;
}

void Parse(int numb, char ** string)
{
        int i;
        int j = sizeof(numb) * 8;
        for (i = 0; i < sizeof(numb) * 8; i++, j--)
                (*string)[i] = (char)(((numb >> (j - 1)) & 1) | 0x30);
        (*string)[i] = '\0';
        printf("%d\n", i);
        return;
}

Deals with circular linked lists, simple database

Oh cool. I'm assuming it's a university assignment?

If it's up somewhere I'll take a look at it, see if I notice anything blatant.
