Decimal from a char* to binary

Question

I have a string that consists some decimal value, with number of digits can be more than any existing int-types can hold(I know the number of digits). Give me some hints, please, how can I convert that number to it's binary representation (so I will have other char* variable, that will consist binary).

Answer 1

You could use something like the GNU Multiple Precision library that has support for very long numbers.
