Converting an integer to binary in C

Question

I\'m trying to convert an integer 10 into the binary number 1010.

This code attempts it, but I get a segfault on the strcat():

int int_to_bin(int k)
{
          


        

Answer 1

Result in string

The following function converts an integer to binary in a string (n is the number of bits):

// Convert an integer to binary (in a string)
void int2bin(unsigned integer, char* binary, int n=8)
{  
  for (int i=0;i

Result in string with memory allocation

The following function converts an integer to binary in a string and allocate memory for the string (n is the number of bits):

// Convert an integer to binary (in a string)
char* int2bin(unsigned integer, int n=8)
{
  char* binary = (char*)malloc(n+1);
  for (int i=0;i

This option allows you to write something like printf ("%s", int2bin(78)); but be careful, memory allocated for the string must be free later.

Result in unsigned int

The following function converts an integer to binary in another integer (8 bits maximum):

// Convert an integer to binary (in an unsigned)
unsigned int int_to_int(unsigned int k) {
    return (k == 0 || k == 1 ? k : ((k % 2) + 10 * int_to_int(k / 2)));
}

Display result

The following function displays the binary conversion

// Convert an integer to binary and display the result
void int2bin(unsigned integer, int n=8)
{  
  for (int i=0;i
