I try to make program convert decimal to binary but, it adds the decimal number again.

I try to make program convert decimal to binary but, it adds the decimal number again.

You put the decimal number in the stack, and then you put some other numbers on the stack, and then you output the entire stack. What's at the bottom of the stack? The decimal number. So of course it's part of the output.

Why are you putting the input decimal number on the stack?

You are pushing back the number on line 19 in your second code block. Get rid of that and you should be fine.

cout<<"Enter a nonnegative integer:";
cin >> num;
stack1.push(num);
while(num>0)
//...

Becomes

cout<<"Enter a nonnegative integer:";
cin >> num;
while(num>0)
//...

I think this has solved my issue.I can't believe I hadn't noticed that yet. Thank you!

Just an FYI, a bitset is specifically designed to handle this sort of thing.

 int main()
 {
    int num;
    cout<<"decimal\n\n";
    cout<<"to binary\n\n";
    cout<<"Enter a nonnegative integer:";
    cin >> num;
    //provide the number of bits to use
    bitset<16> binNum(num);
    cout << binNum <<"\n";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
 }
