Assignment 2 question 8

How do you input a binary number into a function? Or can we input it as a string? "00110101" and then use the string methods? How should i go about this?

I used C_Strings and it worked like a charm, strings can also work but they require more time to implement.

I read it in as an integer, and used the mod operator to get the binary digit...

Did that work out? bcoz i also tried that out but my problem was that u need to know how many times you need to use the mod and div operator during design time, which i found was a bit tricky, thats why i ended up using C_Strings.

<No, not really. The base case is when Mod 2 = 1 AND Div 2 = 0. Then you know you are left with 1.> --- Scrap that nonsense. I was on the typing before I was thinking.

Yeah it works, when the binary number is equal to zero, then it's done, 000101 is the same as 101 smiling smiley
