Re: Help! Decimal to binary conversion

I think the whole point of this exercise is for you to write a function along the lines of

C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
void convertToBase( int number, int base, char *result );
void convertToBase( int number, int base, char *result );

Assuming you know how to do this for base 10, through application of the / and % operators, the rest should follow naturally.
