Can someone make this VB program

[Ironside]

Can some one make me a program that will convert any number into the 0 and 1 language. I will demonstrate how it works :

Let's say i pick number 25:

12 x 2 + 1
6 x 2 + 0
3 x 2 + 0
1 x 2 + 1
0 x 2 + 1

so we have 25 = 11001
(the numbers we get must be writen from down to up) so 10011 is wrong.

Then for reverse from 11001 to 25 we do:

1 x 2^0 = 1
0 x 2^1 = 0
0 x 2^2 = 0
1 x 2^3 = 8
1 x 2^4 = 16

1 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 16 = 25

And we are done.

So if anyone can make this, i tryed but failed.

How to work with it? I put 15 in first box and got a totaly wrong code out....

 

[Pyritie]

If you want 15 to be interpreted as a string, put it in the first box. If you want it to be interpreted as a number, put it in the "[DEC / CHAR]" box.

 

[Ironside]

Still comes out wrong....

 

[Pyritie]

Then you're doing it wrong.

 

[Ironside]

Hmm Well i'll tell what i get then: In first post you can see i did 25 into 11001, but the website gives out 00011001, wich is totaly wrong number...

 

[Pyritie]

Lol, no it's not. 00000000000000002 is the same number as 2, right?

That's how binary works. It sticks the numbers in groups of 8.

 

[Ironside]

So you mean i must count away the first 3 0 numbers? but that's silly, how am i gona know everytime how many numbers i'll have to cut off...

See binary code works like this:


25 = 11001

let's first of all reverse this number -> 10011 (it's easier)

The first number (1) is "1"
The second number (0) is "2"
The third number (0) is "4"
The forth number (1) is "8"
The fith number (1) is "16"

So you have 1x1 + 0x2 + 0x4 + 1x8 + 1x16 = 25

In the end the whole thing is read from the other direction. "1" is the number on the right.

They're always a multiple of 8, since 8 bits fit in 1 byte...

And the correct number is 11001, or 00011001 in 1 byte.

Just trim off the extra zeros
