Is there a printf converter to print in binary format?

Question

I can print with printf as a hex or octal number. Is there a format tag to print as binary, or arbitrary base?

I am running gcc.

printf(\"%d %x %o         


        

Answer 1

The following recursive function might be useful:

void bin(int n)
{
    /* Step 1 */
    if (n > 1)
        bin(n/2);
    /* Step 2 */
    printf("%d", n % 2);
}
