Decimal to Binary using recursion and without using power operator

Last Updated : 04 Aug, 2021

Given an integer N, the task is convert and print the binary equaiva;ent of N.
Examples:

Input: N = 13
Output: 1101
Input: N = 15
Output: 1111

Approach Write a recursive function that takes an argument N and recursively calls itself with the value N / 2 as the new argument and prints N % 2 after the call. The base condition will be when N = 0, simply print 0 and return out of the function in that case.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Recursive function to convert n
// to its binary equivalent
void decimalToBinary(int n)
{
    // Base case
    if (n == 0) {
        cout << "0";
        return;
    }

    // Recursive call
    decimalToBinary(n / 2);
    cout << n % 2;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 13;

    decimalToBinary(n);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
import java.io.*;

class GFG
{
    

// Recursive function to convert n
// to its binary equivalent
static void decimalToBinary(int n)
{
    // Base case
    if (n == 0) 
    {
        System.out.print("0");
        return;
    }

    // Recursive call
    decimalToBinary(n / 2);
    System.out.print( n % 2);
}

// Driver code
public static void main (String[] args) 
{
    int n = 13;

    decimalToBinary(n);
}
}

Python3

# Python3 implementation of the approach 

# Recursive function to convert n 
# to its binary equivalent 
def decimalToBinary(n) :
    
    # Base case 
    if (n == 0) :
        print("0",end=""); 
        return;
    
    # Recursive call 
    decimalToBinary(n // 2); 
    print(n % 2,end=""); 


# Driver code 
if __name__ == "__main__" : 

    n = 13;
    decimalToBinary(n);

// C# implementation of the approach
using System;
    
class GFG
{
    
    // Recursive function to convert n
    // to its binary equivalent
    static void decimalToBinary(int n)
    {
        
        // Base case
        if (n == 0) 
        {
            Console.Write("0");
            return;
        }

        // Recursive call
        decimalToBinary(n / 2);
        Console.Write(n % 2);
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void Main(String[] args) 
    {
        int n = 13;

        decimalToBinary(n);
    }
}

// javascript implementation of the approach

    // Recursive function to convert n

    function decimalToBinary(n) {
        // Base case
        if (n == 0) {
            document.write("0");
            return;
        }

        // Recursive call
        decimalToBinary(parseInt(n / 2));
        document.write(n % 2);
    }

    // Driver code
    
        var n = 13;

        decimalToBinary(n);
