Convert String into Binary Sequence

0 0 4 minutes read

Given a string of character the task is to convert each character of a string into the equivalent binary number.

Examples :

Input : GFG
Output : 1000111 1000110 1000111  

Input :  zambiatek
Output : 1100111 1100101 1100101 1101011 1110011

The idea is to first calculate the length of the string as n and then run a loop n times. In each iteration store ASCII value of character in variable val and then convert it into binary number and store result in array finally print the array in reverse order.

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to convert
// string into binary string
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// utility function
void strToBinary(string s)
{
    int n = s.length();
 
 
    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)
    {
        // convert each char to
        // ASCII value
        int val = int(s[i]);
 
        // Convert ASCII value to binary
        string bin = "";
        while (val > 0)
        {
            (val % 2)? bin.push_back('1') :
                       bin.push_back('0');
            val /= 2;
        }
        reverse(bin.begin(), bin.end());
 
        cout << bin << " ";
    }
}
 
// driver code
int main()
{
 
    string s = "zambiatek";
    strToBinary(s);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to convert
// string into binary string
import java.util.*;
 
class Node
{
 
    // utility function
    static void strToBinary(String s)
    {
        int n = s.length();
 
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) 
        {
            // convert each char to
            // ASCII value
            int val = Integer.valueOf(s.charAt(i));
 
            // Convert ASCII value to binary
            String bin = "";
            while (val > 0) 
            {
                if (val % 2 == 1)
                {
                    bin += '1';
                }
                else
                    bin += '0';
                val /= 2;
            }
            bin = reverse(bin);
 
            System.out.print(bin + " ");
        }
    }
 
    static String reverse(String input) 
    {
        char[] a = input.toCharArray();
        int l, r = 0;
        r = a.length - 1;
 
        for (l = 0; l < r; l++, r--)
        {
            // Swap values of l and r 
            char temp = a[l];
            a[l] = a[r];
            a[r] = temp;
        }
        return String.valueOf(a);
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String s = "zambiatek";
        strToBinary(s);
    }
}
