Lately…I’ve been learning “R”…that weird programming language aimed for Statistics and Statistical programming…and I really like it…so as usual, I needed to create my own Decimal to Binary application -;)

binary<-function(p_number) {
  bsum<-0
  bexp<-1
  while (p_number > 0) {
     digit<-p_number %% 2
     p_number<-floor(p_number / 2)
     bsum<-bsum + digit * bexp
     bexp<-bexp * 10
  }
  return(bsum)
}

p_number<-readline("Decimal number?: ")
p_number<-as.numeric(p_number)
bsum<-binary(p_number)
cat("Binary: ", bsum)

For this example, I used RStudio.
