Hi everybody

I am looking for a function to convert an int to a binary.

For example the function gets integer 23 as input and returns int(or long int) 10111 as output. Any sugestions?

Binary is just a representation of an integer number. This means it doesn't matter for your long if you think of it as decimal or binary. It is just necessary if you want to output the value to the user.

this link might help you:

basically,
it is done like this as described in the link :

C#
string binaryValue=Convert.ToString(23,2);

No problem, i didn't want to be offending :)
Here it is:
int myValue = 23;
string strBinary = Convert.ToString(myValue, 2);

No! this will convert it to a string. As I mentioned I want it in long datatype.

my vote of 5. perfect and easy answer!

Sure, it will convert it to a string. Now do int.Parse(theString) to get the string as an int.
From - Binary to Integer
Private Function ToInteger(ByVal x As Long) As String
Dim temp As String 
Dim ch As Char
Dim multiply As Integer = 1
Dim subtract As Integer = 1
Dim len As Integer = CStr(x).Length
For Each ch In CStr(x)
For len = 1 To CStr(x).Length - subtract
multiply = multiply * 2
Next
multiply = CInt(ch.ToString) * multiply
temp = multiply + temp
subtract = subtract + 1
multiply = 1
Next
Return temp
End Function

From - Integer to Binary
Private Function ToBinary(ByVal x As Long) As String
Dim temp As String = ""
Do
If x Mod 2 Then
temp = "1" + temp
Else
temp = "0" + temp
End If
x = x \ 2
If x < 1 Then Exit Do
Loop 
Return temp
End Function
You can add this function to your application and call it with passing the respective parameter.

Bit too compicated for .Net and written in VB, not as desired in c#. But, good to show how its done :)
cs101000 28-Oct-10 12:46pm    
In which language the code is?
Tarun.K.S 28-Oct-10 12:58pm    
its in Visual Basic.
