Easy question about formatting a string

[NewHSKid]

Hi everyone, Just a quick question. Is there a way to display binary when formatting a string? I know %d is decimal, %X is hex....is there one that even exists for binary? Jimmy Just cause I am 15, doesn't mean I'm dumb! (I'll really be 4 on Feb. 29...the year 2004)

There isn't a ready-made format specifier like %b that will format an integer in binary. You'll have to brew your own by walking the bits. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

There are several ways. Here are a few. The example below will display the binary representation for the decimal 100. In addition to '#including' <bitset>, you'll also have to '#include' <limits> cout<<"\n 100: " <::bitset(85) <('A') < Ltrs = bitset<numeric_limits<unsigned int>::digits>('ABCD'); cout<<"\n \"ABCD\": " <
