C++ - Decimal to binary converting

Question

I wrote a \'simple\' (it took me 30 minutes) program that converts decimal number to binary. I am SURE that there\'s a lot simpler way so can you show me? Here\'s the code:<

Answer 1

There is in fact a very simple way to do so. What we do is using a recursive function which is given the number (int) in the parameter. It is pretty easy to understand. You can add other conditions/variations too. Here is the code:

int binary(int num)
{
    int rem;
    if (num <= 1)
        {
            cout << num;
            return num;
        }
    rem = num % 2;
    binary(num / 2);
    cout << rem;
    return rem;
}
