Binary converter

I don't know if anyone has made on but this is kind of a brute force method... check it out.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>


int main()
        {
        int i,ent,x = 128,wot,q;
        do{
        cout << "Enter a number greater than 0 and less that 256: ";
        cin >> ent;
        }
        while(ent > 256 || ent < 0);
        wot = ent;

        for(i = 1; i < 9; i++)
                {
                if(x > wot)
                        cout << "0";
                else
                        {
                        cout << "1";
                        wot = wot % x;
                        }
                x /= 2;
                }

        return 0;
        }

Like it?

There's a class called bitset. I think its part of the STL (standard template library). It's very easy to display a number in binary using bitset. (I have an example at home, and I could post it later.) There was a post a few weeks ago showing how to use it too. So, you might want to search.

[edit]
You'll need to include the header file bitset.h

This will display byte x in binary:

Code:

---

#include <bitset>
cout << bitset<8>(x)

The attached sample program uses various bases.
