if the user enter a string,than is save every part of it with strtok, and one of the part was numbers, how i can convert this numbers to integer?
my goal is to get this string : "matrix 3 3 ", and to verify that the user didnt enter double or float, just integer num. I tried to do casting but it is didnt work
thx!
There are different possible ways, but concerning
my goal is [...] to verify that the user didnt enter double or float, just integer num.
you probably aim for full input validation. In that case, you must use strtol().
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
int main(void)
{
const char *str = "42"; // in your code, some result from strtok
char *endptr;
long num = strtol(str, &endptr, 10);
if (endptr == str || *endptr)
{
// not parsed successfully
return 1; // error and out ... do whatever is suitable
}
if (num > INT_MAX || num < INT_MIN)
{
// value was outside int range
return 1;
}
int x = (int)num;
return 0;
}
If you actually want a long, for checking the range, set errno to 0 before calling strtol() and check for errno == ERANGE afterwards. (include errno.h for this)
For the sake of completeness, in response to your comment, of course you can do it all manually, but it's tedious and error prone and less efficient, so I'd never recommend that. See here an example for parsing unsigned integers from strings, with error checking:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
// write result to *result, return 0 on error, 1 on success:
int parseuint(unsigned int *result, const char *str)
{
if (!str || !*str) return 0;
size_t len = strlen(str);
unsigned char bcd[len];
for (size_t i = 0; i < len; ++i)
{
if (str[i] < '0' || str[i] > '9') return 0;
bcd[i] = str[i] - '0';
}
size_t scanstart = 0;
*result = 0;
unsigned int mask = 1;
while (scanstart < len)
{
if (!mask) return 0;
if (bcd[len-1] & 1) *result |= mask;
mask <<=1;
for (size_t i = len-1; i > scanstart; --i)
{
bcd[i] >>= 1;
if (bcd[i-1] & 1) bcd[i] |= 8;
}
bcd[scanstart] >>= 1;
while (scanstart < len && !bcd[scanstart]) ++scanstart;
for (size_t i = scanstart; i < len; ++i)
{
if (bcd[i] > 7) bcd[i] -= 3;
}
}
return 1;
}
int main(void)
{
unsigned int a;
if (parseuint(&a, "4258"))
{
printf("parsed: %u\n", a);
}
else
{
puts("error parsing 4258");
}
if (parseuint(&a, "13.7"))
{
printf("parsed: %u\n", a);
}
else
{
puts("error parsing 13.7");
}
if (parseuint(&a, "12345678901234567890"))
{
printf("parsed: %u\n", a);
}
else
{
puts("error parsing 12345678901234567890");
}
}
I'm trying to decode binary that was encoded (most significant byte first) with the following loop.
int ch; // Has a value of, for example, 97 (which evaluates to 'a' with putchar(ch))
for (int i = 0; i < CHAR_BIT; i++) {
printf("%d", !!((ch << i) & 0x80));
}
So far I have tried:
unsigned int byte[CHAR_BIT]; // Filled elsewhere
unsigned char result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < CHAR_BIT; i++) {
result |= (byte[i] == '1') << ((CHAR_BIT - 1) - i);
}
putchar(result);
But the output is wrong, it seems as if the characters were shifted the wrong amount. Assuming the first block of code is in a file called prog1 and the second is in prog2, the output of this shell command should be abc but it is `bb (literal back tick followed by bb).
echo "abc" | ./prog1 | ./prog2
This works for me:
prog1.c
#include <stdio.h>
#define CHAR_BIT 8
void encode(int c) {
for (int i = 0; i < CHAR_BIT; i++) {
printf("%d", !!((c << i) & 0x80));
}
}
int main() {
int c;
while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
encode(c);
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
prog2.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define CHAR_BIT 8
void decode(char *byte) {
int c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < CHAR_BIT; i++) {
c |= (byte[i] == '1') << ((CHAR_BIT - 1) - i);
}
putchar(c);
}
int main() {
char byte[CHAR_BIT + 1];
while (scanf("%8s", byte) == 1) {
decode(byte);
}
return 0;
}
EXAMPLE
> echo "abc" | ./prog1
01100001011000100110001100001010
> echo "abc" | ./prog1 | ./prog2
abc
>
If the encode/decode logic is the same as yours, then this line is suspect:
unsigned int byte[CHAR_BIT]; // Filled elsewhere
and knowing what transpired elsewhere might help to explain what went wrong.
I'm trying to convert an ascii string to a binary string in C. I found this example Converting Ascii to binary in C but I rather not use a recursive function. I tried to write an iterative function as opposed to a recursive function, but the binary string is missing the leading digit. I'm using itoa to convert the string, however itoa is a non standard function so I used the implementation from What is the proper way of implementing a good "itoa()" function? , the one provided by Minh Nguyen.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
int32_t ascii_to_binary(char *input, char **out, uint64_t len)
{
uint32_t i;
uint32_t str_len = len * 8;
if(len == 0)
{
printf("Length argument is zero\n");
return (-1);
}
(*out) = malloc(str_len + 1);
if((*out) == NULL)
{
printf("Can't allocate binary string: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return (-1);
}
if(memset((*out), 0, (str_len)) == NULL)
{
printf("Can't initialize memory to zero: %s\n", strerror(errno));
return (-1);
}
for(i = 0; i < len; i++)
itoa((int32_t)input[i], &(*out)[(i * 8)], 2);
(*out)[str_len] = '\0';
return (str_len);
}
int main(void)
{
int32_t rtrn = 0;
char *buffer = NULL;
rtrn = ascii_to_binary("a", &buffer, 1);
if(rtrn < 0)
{
printf("Can't convert string\n");
return (-1);
}
printf("str: %s\n", buffer);
return (0);
}
I get 1100001 for ascii character a, but I should get 01100001, so how do I convert the ascii string to the whole binary string?
You could change the for loop to something like this:
for(i = 0; i < len; i++) {
unsigned char ch = input[i];
char *o = *out + 8 * i;
int b;
for (b = 7; b >= 0; b--)
*o++ = (ch & (1 << b)) ? '1' : '0';
}
or similar:
for(i = 0; i < len; i++) {
unsigned char ch = input[i];
char *o = &(*out)[8 * i];
unsigned char b;
for (b = 0x80; b; b >>= 1)
*o++ = ch & b ? '1' : '0';
}
This program gets and integer ( which contains 32 bits ) and converts it to binary, Work on it to get it work for ascii strings :
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int n, c, k;
printf("Enter an integer in decimal number system\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
printf("%d in binary number system is:\n", n);
for (c = 31; c >= 0; c--)
{
k = n >> c;
if (k & 1)
printf("1");
else
printf("0");
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Best just write a simple function to do this using bitwise operators...
#define ON_BIT = 0x01
char *strToBin(char c) {
static char strOutput[10];
int bit;
/*Shifting bits to the right, but don't want the output to be in reverse
* so indexing bytes with this...
*/
int byte;
/* Add a nul at byte 9 to terminate. */
strOutput[8] = '\0';
for (bit = 0, byte = 7; bit < 8; bit++, byte--) {
/* Shifting the bits in c to the right, each time and'ing it with
* 0x01 (00000001).
*/
if ((c >> bit) & BIT_ON)
/* We know this is a 1. */
strOutput[byte] = '1';
else
strOutput[byte] = '0';
}
return strOutput;
}
Something like that should work, there's loads of ways you can do it. Hope this helps.
I need to write a C program that has a binary number on input and the same number in MLT-3 code on output (voltages +, 0, - accordingly). The voltages only change at '1', at '0' they are unchanged:
10010111
+++00-0+
How do I 'roll' these values?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char states[4] = { '+', '0', '-', '0' };
int index = 3;
int b = 0x97; // OP example
int i;
for (i=0; i<8; i++) {
if (b & 0x80)
index = (index + 1) % 4;
printf ("%c", states[index]);
b <<= 1;
}
printf("\n");
return 0;
}
Program output
+++00-0+
A basic flow indicated by the code.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
int direction = 1;//1: upto, -1: downto
int state = 0;
char *seq = "10010111";
while(*seq){
if(*seq == '1'){
state += direction;
if(state == 1 || state == -1)
direction = -direction;//reversal of direction
}
switch(state){//putchar("-0+"[state+1]);
case 1: putchar('+');break;
case 0: putchar('0');break;
case -1: putchar('-');break;
}
++seq;
}
return 0;

I'm looking for a function to allow me to print the binary representation of an int. What I have so far is;
char *int2bin(int a)
{
char *str,*tmp;
int cnt = 31;
str = (char *) malloc(33); /*32 + 1 , because its a 32 bit bin number*/
tmp = str;
while ( cnt > -1 ){
str[cnt]= '0';
cnt --;
}
cnt = 31;
while (a > 0){
if (a%2==1){
str[cnt] = '1';
}
cnt--;
a = a/2 ;
}
return tmp;
}
But when I call
printf("a %s",int2bin(aMask)) // aMask = 0xFF000000
I get output like;
0000000000000000000000000000000000xtpYy (And a bunch of unknown characters.
Is it a flaw in the function or am I printing the address of the character array or something? Sorry, I just can't see where I'm going wrong.
NB The code is from here
EDIT: It's not homework FYI, I'm trying to debug someone else's image manipulation routines in an unfamiliar language. If however it's been tagged as homework because it's an elementary concept then fair play.
Here's another option that is more optimized where you pass in your allocated buffer. Make sure it's the correct size.
// buffer must have length >= sizeof(int) + 1
// Write to the buffer backwards so that the binary representation
// is in the correct order i.e. the LSB is on the far right
// instead of the far left of the printed string
char *int2bin(int a, char *buffer, int buf_size) {
buffer += (buf_size - 1);
for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--) {
*buffer-- = (a & 1) + '0';
a >>= 1;
}
return buffer;
}
#define BUF_SIZE 33
int main() {
char buffer[BUF_SIZE];
buffer[BUF_SIZE - 1] = '\0';
int2bin(0xFF000000, buffer, BUF_SIZE - 1);
printf("a = %s", buffer);
}
A few suggestions:
null-terminate your string
don't use magic numbers
check the return value of malloc()
don't cast the return value of malloc()
use binary operations instead of arithmetic ones as you're interested in the binary representation
there's no need for looping twice
Here's the code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
char * int2bin(int i)
{
size_t bits = sizeof(int) * CHAR_BIT;
char * str = malloc(bits + 1);
if(!str) return NULL;
str[bits] = 0;
// type punning because signed shift is implementation-defined
unsigned u = *(unsigned *)&i;
for(; bits--; u >>= 1)
str[bits] = u & 1 ? '1' : '0';
return str;
}
Your string isn't null-terminated. Make sure you add a '\0' character at the end of the string; or, you could allocate it with calloc instead of malloc, which will zero the memory that is returned to you.
By the way, there are other problems with this code:
As used, it allocates memory when you call it, leaving the caller responsible for free()ing the allocated string. You'll leak memory if you just call it in a printf call.
It makes two passes over the number, which is unnecessary. You can do everything in one loop.
Here's an alternative implementation you could use.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
char *int2bin(unsigned n, char *buf)
{
#define BITS (sizeof(n) * CHAR_BIT)
static char static_buf[BITS + 1];
int i;
if (buf == NULL)
buf = static_buf;
for (i = BITS - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
buf[i] = (n & 1) ? '1' : '0';
n >>= 1;
}
buf[BITS] = '\0';
return buf;
#undef BITS
}
Usage:
printf("%s\n", int2bin(0xFF00000000, NULL));
The second parameter is a pointer to a buffer you want to store the result string in. If you don't have a buffer you can pass NULL and int2bin will write to a static buffer and return that to you. The advantage of this over the original implementation is that the caller doesn't have to worry about free()ing the string that gets returned.
A downside is that there's only one static buffer so subsequent calls will overwrite the results from previous calls. You couldn't save the results from multiple calls for later use. Also, it is not threadsafe, meaning if you call the function this way from different threads they could clobber each other's strings. If that's a possibility you'll need to pass in your own buffer instead of passing NULL, like so:
char str[33];
int2bin(0xDEADBEEF, str);
puts(str);
Here is a simple algorithm.
void decimalToBinary (int num) {
//Initialize mask
unsigned int mask = 0x80000000;
size_t bits = sizeof(num) * CHAR_BIT;
for (int count = 0 ;count < bits; count++) {
//print
(mask & num ) ? cout <<"1" : cout <<"0";
//shift one to the right
mask = mask >> 1;
}
}
this is what i made to display an interger as a binairy code it is separated per 4 bits:
int getal = 32; /** To determain the value of a bit 2^i , intergers are 32bits long**/
int binairy[getal]; /** A interger array to put the bits in **/
int i; /** Used in the for loop **/
for(i = 0; i < 32; i++)
{
binairy[i] = (integer >> (getal - i) - 1) & 1;
}
int a , counter = 0;
for(a = 0;a<32;a++)
{
if (counter == 4)
{
counter = 0;
printf(" ");
}
printf("%i", binairy[a]);
teller++;
}
it could be a bit big but i always write it in a way (i hope) that everyone can understand what is going on. hope this helped.
#include<stdio.h>
//#include<conio.h> // use this if you are running your code in visual c++, linux don't
// have this library. i have used it for getch() to hold the screen for input char.
void showbits(int);
int main()
{
int no;
printf("\nEnter number to convert in binary\n");
scanf("%d",&no);
showbits(no);
// getch(); // used to hold screen...
// keep code as it is if using gcc. if using windows uncomment #include & getch()
return 0;
}
void showbits(int n)
{
int i,k,andmask;
for(i=15;i>=0;i--)
{
andmask = 1 << i;
k = n & andmask;
k == 0 ? printf("0") : printf("1");
}
}
Just a enhance of the answer from #Adam Markowitz
To let the function support uint8 uint16 uint32 and uint64:
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
// Convert integer number to binary representation.
// The buffer must have bits bytes length.
void int2bin(uint64_t number, uint8_t *buffer, int bits) {
memset(buffer, '0', bits);
buffer += bits - 1;
for (int i = bits - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
*buffer-- = (number & 1) + '0';
number >>= 1;
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char buffer[65];
buffer[8] = '\0';
int2bin(1234567890123, buffer, 8);
printf("1234567890123 in 8 bits: %s\n", buffer);
buffer[16] = '\0';
int2bin(1234567890123, buffer, 16);
printf("1234567890123 in 16 bits: %s\n", buffer);
buffer[32] = '\0';
int2bin(1234567890123, buffer, 32);
printf("1234567890123 in 32 bits: %s\n", buffer);
buffer[64] = '\0';
int2bin(1234567890123, buffer, 64);
printf("1234567890123 in 64 bits: %s\n", buffer);
return 0;
}
The output:
1234567890123 in 8 bits: 11001011
1234567890123 in 16 bits: 0000010011001011
1234567890123 in 32 bits: 01110001111110110000010011001011
1234567890123 in 64 bits: 0000000000000000000000010001111101110001111110110000010011001011
Two things:
Where do you put the NUL character? I can't see a place where '\0' is set.
Int is signed, and 0xFF000000 would be interpreted as a negative value. So while (a > 0) will be false immediately.
Aside: The malloc function inside is ugly. What about providing a buffer to int2bin?
A couple of things:
int f = 32;
int i = 1;
do{
str[--f] = i^a?'1':'0';
}while(i<<1);
It's highly platform dependent, but
maybe this idea above gets you started.
Why not use memset(str, 0, 33) to set
the whole char array to 0?
Don't forget to free()!!! the char*
array after your function call!
Two simple versions coded here (reproduced with mild reformatting).
#include <stdio.h>
/* Print n as a binary number */
void printbitssimple(int n)
{
unsigned int i;
i = 1<<(sizeof(n) * 8 - 1);
while (i > 0)
{

printf("1");
else
printf("0");
i >>= 1;
}
}
/* Print n as a binary number */
void printbits(int n)
{
unsigned int i, step;
if (0 == n) /* For simplicity's sake, I treat 0 as a special case*/
{
printf("0000");
return;
}
i = 1<<(sizeof(n) * 8 - 1);
step = -1; /* Only print the relevant digits */
step >>= 4; /* In groups of 4 */
while (step >= n)
{
i >>= 4;
step >>= 4;
}
/* At this point, i is the smallest power of two larger or equal to n */
while (i > 0)
{

printf("1");
else
printf("0");

}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 32; ++i)
{
printf("%d = ", i);
//printbitssimple(i);
printbits(i);

}
return 0;
}
//This is what i did when our teacher asked us to do this
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
int number, i, size, mask; // our input,the counter,sizeofint,out mask
size = sizeof(int);
mask = 1<<(size*8-1);
printf("Enter integer: ");
scanf("%d", &number);
printf("Integer is :\t%d 0x%X\n", number, number);
printf("Bin format :\t");
for(i=0 ; i<size*8 ;++i ) {
if ((i % 4 == 0) && (i != 0)) {
printf(" ");
}
printf("%u",number&mask ? 1 : 0);
number = number<<1;
}
printf("\n");
return (0);
}
the simplest way for me doing this (for a 8bit representation):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
char *intToBinary(int z, int bit_length){
int div;
int counter = 0;
int counter_length = (int)pow(2, bit_length);
char *bin_str = calloc(bit_length, sizeof(char));
for (int i=counter_length; i > 1; i=i/2, counter++) {
div = z % i;
div = div / (i / 2);
sprintf(&bin_str[counter], "%i", div);
}
return bin_str;
}
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
printf("%s\n", intToBinary(i, 8)); //8bit but you could do 16 bit as well
}
return 0;
}
Here is another solution that does not require a char *.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void print_int(int i)
{
int j = -1;
while (++j < 32)
putchar(i & (1 << j) ? '1' : '0');
putchar('\n');
}
int main(void)
{
int i = -1;
while (i < 6)
print_int(i++);
return (0);
}
Or here for more readability:
#define GRN "\x1B[32;1m"
#define NRM "\x1B[0m"
void print_int(int i)
{
int j = -1;
while (++j < 32)
{
if (i & (1 << j))
printf(GRN "1");
else
printf(NRM "0");
}
putchar('\n');
}
And here is the output:
11111111111111111111111111111111
00000000000000000000000000000000
