Converting Decimal to Binary Java

Question

I am trying to convert decimal to binary numbers from the user's input using Java.

I'm getting errors.

package reversedBinary;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ReversedBinary {


public static void main(String[] args) {
    int number; 

    Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter a positive integer");
    number=in.nextInt();

    if (number <0)
        System.out.println("Error: Not a positive integer");
    else { 

        System.out.print("Convert to binary is:");
        System.out.print(binaryform(number));
}

}

private static Object binaryform(int number) {
    int remainder;

    if (number <=1) {
        System.out.print(number);

    }

    remainder= number %2; 
    binaryform(number >>1);
    System.out.print(remainder);

    { 
    return null;
} } }

How do I convert Decimal to Binary in Java?

Answer 1

Integer.toBinaryString() is an in-built method and will do quite well.

Answer 2

Binary to Decimal without using Integer.ParseInt():

import java.util.Scanner;

//convert binary to decimal number in java without using Integer.parseInt() method.

public class BinaryToDecimalWithOutParseInt {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
        System.out.println("Enter a binary number: ");

        int  binarynum =input.nextInt();
        int binary=binarynum;

        int decimal = 0;
        int power = 0;

        while(true){

            if(binary == 0){

                break;

            } else {

                int temp = binary%10;
                decimal += temp*Math.pow(2, power);
                binary = binary/10;
                power++;

            }
        }
        System.out.println("Binary="+binarynum+" Decimal="+decimal); ;
    }

}

Output:

Enter a binary number:

1010

Binary=1010 Decimal=10

Binary to Decimal using Integer.parseInt():

import java.util.Scanner;

//convert binary to decimal number in java using Integer.parseInt() method.
public class BinaryToDecimalWithParseInt {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

        System.out.println("Enter a binary number: ");
        String binaryString =input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Result: "+Integer.parseInt(binaryString,2));

    }

}

Output:

Enter a binary number:

1010

Result: 10

Answer 3

//converts decimal to binary string
String convertToBinary(int decimalNumber){  
    String binary="";
    while(decimalNumber>0){
        int remainder=decimalNumber%2;
        //line below ensures the remainders are reversed
        binary=remainder+binary;
        decimalNumber=decimalNumber/2;
    }
    return binary;

}

Answer 4

public static void main(String h[])
{
    Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
    int decimal=sc.nextInt();

    String binary="";

    if(decimal<=0)
    {
        System.out.println("Please Enter more than 0");

    }
    else
    {
        while(decimal>0)
        {

            binary=(decimal%2)+binary;
            decimal=decimal/2;

        }
        System.out.println("binary is:"+binary);

    }

}

Answer 5

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Scanner in =new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Put a number : ");
    int a=in.nextInt();
    StringBuffer b=new StringBuffer();
    while(a>=1)
    {
      if(a%2!=0)
      {
        b.append(1);
       }
      else if(a%2==0)
      {
         b.append(0);
      }
      a /=2;
    }
    System.out.println(b.reverse());
}

Answer 6

All your problems can be solved with a one-liner! To incorporate my solution into your project, simply remove your binaryform(int number) method, and replace System.out.print(binaryform(number)); with System.out.println(Integer.toBinaryString(number));.
