Converting an int to a binary string representation in Java?

Question

Integer.toBinaryString(int i)

There is also the java.lang.Integer.toString(int i, int base) method, which would be more appropriate if your code might one day handle bases other than 2 (binary). Keep in mind that this method only gives you an unsigned representation of the integer i, and if it is negative, it will tack on a negative sign at the front. It won't use two's complement.

public static string intToBinary(int n)
{
    String s = "";
    while (n > 0)
    {
        s =  ( (n % 2 ) == 0 ? "0" : "1") +s;
        n = n / 2;
    }
    return s;
}

One more way- By using java.lang.Integer you can get string representation of the first argument i in the radix (Octal - 8, Hex - 16, Binary - 2) specified by the second argument.

 Integer.toString(i, radix)

Example_

private void getStrtingRadix() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         /* returns the string representation of the 
          unsigned integer in concern radix*/
         System.out.println("Binary eqivalent of 100 = " + Integer.toString(100, 2));
         System.out.println("Octal eqivalent of 100 = " + Integer.toString(100, 8));
         System.out.println("Decimal eqivalent of 100 = " + Integer.toString(100, 10));
         System.out.println("Hexadecimal eqivalent of 100 = " + Integer.toString(100, 16));
    }

OutPut_

Binary eqivalent of 100 = 1100100
Octal eqivalent of 100 = 144
Decimal eqivalent of 100 = 100
Hexadecimal eqivalent of 100 = 64

public class Main  {

   public static String toBinary(int n, int l ) throws Exception {
       double pow =  Math.pow(2, l);
       StringBuilder binary = new StringBuilder();
        if ( pow < n ) {
            throw new Exception("The length must be big from number ");
        }
       int shift = l- 1;
       for (; shift >= 0 ; shift--) {
           int bit = (n >> shift) & 1;
           if (bit == 1) {
               binary.append("1");
           } else {
               binary.append("0");
           }
       }
       return binary.toString();
   }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        System.out.println(" binary = " + toBinary(7, 4));
        System.out.println(" binary = " + Integer.toString(7,2));
    }
}

This is something I wrote a few minutes ago just messing around. Hope it helps!

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    ArrayList<Integer> powers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    ArrayList<Integer> binaryStore = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    powers.add(128);
    powers.add(64);
    powers.add(32);
    powers.add(16);
    powers.add(8);
    powers.add(4);
    powers.add(2);
    powers.add(1);

    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Welcome to Paden9000 binary converter. Please enter an integer you wish to convert: ");
    int input = sc.nextInt();
    int printableInput = input;

    for (int i : powers) {
        if (input < i) {
            binaryStore.add(0);     
        } else {
            input = input - i;
            binaryStore.add(1);             
        }           
    }

    String newString= binaryStore.toString();
    String finalOutput = newString.replace("[", "")
            .replace(" ", "")
            .replace("]", "")
            .replace(",", "");

    System.out.println("Integer value: " + printableInput + "\nBinary value: " + finalOutput);
    sc.close();
}   

}

Convert Integer to Binary:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class IntegerToBinary {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

        System.out.println("Enter Integer: ");
        String integerString =input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("Binary Number: "+Integer.toBinaryString(Integer.parseInt(integerString)));
    }

}

Output:

Enter Integer:

10

Binary Number: 1010
