Hello fellow classmates,

I have one question, so on HW7 Problem 5, my program is working on converting decimals to binary, HOWEVER, it can not read really large numbers because of the max capacity of the integer data type. I tried fixing it by separating the string in parts, but got stuck eventually and made the problem even worse with my solutions. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to address the issue with the code?

Thank you.

Your code should work for up to the maximum value of the largest integer data type.

Hello again,

Oh, now I see the problem! I guess it was separating the String in pieces depending on the number after all. Won't that give me a different a value for the binary? For example, the sample integer into binary compared to the sample integer split into pieces:

Integer: 4567876543456789876 -----> Binary:11111101100100010110111000001110111110100101001100010101110100

Integer: 4567 -----> Binary:‭ 0001 0001 1101 0111
Integer: 8765-----> Binary: ‭0010 0010 0011 1101‬

How would the value change in this case?

Thanks.
