Just for fun… Here’s the pseudocode for the method of building a binary number from a decimal number, based on the Russian peasant method of multiplication:
function mybin(mydec) {
mybin = “”;
do while mydec > 0 {
if mydec is odd: {
mydec = mydec – 1;
mybin = “1” + mybin; }
else: mybin = “0” + mybin;
mydec = mydec / 2; }
return mybin; }
