Be clear about how to convert decimal w/o fraction to binary and decimal w/ fraction to binary.
A similar but a little bit more complex problem can be found from lintCode: Binary Representation. Code is attached as following.
string binaryRepresentation(string n) {
// wirte your code here
int intPart = stoi(n.substr(0, n.find('.')));
double decPart = stod(n.substr(n.find('.')));
string intStr = "", decStr = "";
if(intPart == 0) intStr += '0';
while(intPart){
int bit = intPart % 2;
intPart /= 2;
intStr = to_string(bit) + intStr;
}
while(decPart){
if((decStr.size()) > 32) return "ERROR";
decPart *= 2;
if(decPart>=1){
decStr += "1";
decPart -= 1;
}else decStr +="0";
}
return (decStr.size()>0) ? intStr + "." + decStr : intStr;
}
Code for Binary to string:
string printBinary(double num){
if(num >= 1 || num <= 0) return "ERROR";
string res = "0.";
while(num){
if(res.size() >= 32) return "ERROR";
num *= 2;
if(num >= 1){
res += "1";
num -= 1;
}else res += "0";
}
return res;
}
