If you can avoid using the turing GUI at all costs. Secondly as to your first problem, how would you convert a base 10 number into a base 2 using a pen and paper if you are unaware, and to save me time from typing read the following: http://math.about.com/od/calculuslessons/a/changebase.htm Google is your friend for further investigation. |

Use math in a for loop. Not that div does division with the decimal cut off, and mod does the remainder after division. |

If you know how to do it on paper, you should be able to convert that to a working program. If not, try and tell us what you're getting confused with. |

Binary is pretty simple for finding numbers exapmle 0011 0011 = 51 how do I know this? the following is a crappy version of a binary table 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 - 8bit ------------------------- 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 -binary number ok so really it's simple for every number thats one add the binary number on the table. 1+2+16+32 = 51 not hard right? lets use for example 83 not what you want to do is take the largest number on the binary table and add 1 underneath I will now give you the binary of 83, 0101 0011 (83-64=19-16=3-2=1-1=0) |
