Convert Decimal into Binary using Recursion in R

In this example, you will learn to convert decimal number into binary by creating a recursive function, convert_to_binary().

Example: Binary to Decimal

# Program to convert decimal
# number into binary number
# using recursive function

convert_to_binary <- function(n) {

    if(n > 1) {
        convert_to_binary(as.integer(n/2))
    }
    cat(n %% 2)
}

Output

> convert_to_binary(52)
110100

In this program, we convert decimal number entered by the user into binary using a recursive function.

Decimal number is converted into binary by dividing the number successively by 2 and printing the remainder in reverse order.
