Convert int to string in binary base

Hi
Is there a library function in C which convert int decimal to binary string. I know about itoa function but it is not part of standard.

Why don't you try writing your own function to do that? It's pretty straightforward....

There are solutions all over the internet, google em up.

No, you would need to write that yourself. Not that difficult.

May be here is an example what can help you:

Code:

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

 
void deztobin(unsigned int decimalvalue, char zudi[], int prezeros);
void bintodez(char wort[], unsigned int (*dewer) );

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
 int question = 9, bin_str_len = 0;
 unsigned int decimalvalue = 0;
 char binaerystring[120] = {0};

 do
 switch(question)
  {
  default:
      printf("\nconverts decimal to a binary string\n");
      printf("exit program..................0\n");
      printf("decimal to binary.............1\n");
      printf("binary to decimal dezimal.....2\n");
      printf("set length of binary string...3\n");
      printf("Your choice: ");
      scanf("%d", &question);
    break;

 
  case 0:
      printf("\nEnd of program\n");
      return 0; 
    break; 

  case 1:
      printf("\nPlease enter a decimal: ");
      scanf("%d", &decimalvalue);
      printf("\ndecimal value is: %d\n", decimalvalue);
      deztobin(decimalvalue, binaerystring, bin_str_len);
      printf("\nbinary....: %s\n", binaerystring);
      printf("____________0123456789123456789012345678901234567890\n");
      question = 9;
  break;

  case 2:
    printf("\nPlease enter a binary value up to 32 bit: ");
    scanf("%s",binaerystring);
    printf("\ndecimal value was: Binaer %s", binaerystring);
    bintodez(binaerystring, &decimalvalue);
    printf(" decimal %d\n", decimalvalue);
    question = 9;
  break;
 
  case 3:
      printf("\nPlease enter the desired length of the binary string: ");
      scanf("%d", &bin_str_len);
      printf("Your choice was: %d\n", bin_str_len);
      if ((bin_str_len < 0) || (bin_str_len > 32))
      {
        printf("failure: only values from 0 up to 32 allowed\n");
        bin_str_len = 0;
      }
      question = 9;
  break;
 
 
}while(question != 0);


 return 0;
}

/** Version to set the length of the binary string in argument 3
 *  if argument 3(prezeros) == 0 No leading zeros are in the string
 *  if argument 3(prezeros) is greater than 0
 *  fills the string with leading '0' 
 *  Example:
 *  If you set arg 3 to 24
 *  decimal: 170
 *  binary:  000000000000000010101010  (= 24 characters)
 *  If you woud set arg 3 to 3 and
 *  decimal would be 31
 *  you get '11111' as the binary string
 *  or arg 3 = 9
 *  decimal: 134
 *  binary: 010000110
