Binary equivalent

Can anyone tell how the code works in converting decimal no. to binary void Binary(int n) {if(n>1) (n/2); cout<<n%2; }

~ swim ~ Ok. I thought he using while loop. For recursion no need but by loop I mentioned. Because of just said binary process without considering code as it is incomplete... OK. I edit as an alternative way.. Thank you..

TY GUYS...my tutor said that the reminders are stored on stack...and it was a little bit difficult to understand...but the way swim told make sense...TY

[ Edit: if you know binary convertion, and looking for recursive explanation only, then see @swim explanation.. ] For ex: 8 8%2=0, 8/2=4 4%2=0, 4/2=2 2%2=0, 2/2=1 1%2=1, 1/2=0 stops, So 01000, Take reminders in reverse... 1000 is 8's binary representation.. Your code has some flaws.. It should store reminders and print in reverse.. Edit: Without recursion, code may look like... void Binary(int n) { int a[20], i=0; while(n>0){ a[i++]=n%2; n=n/2; } for(int j=i-1; j>=0 ; j--) cout<<a[j];
