We have the ability to transform any decimal numeral (base-10 (0 through 9)) into a binary numeral (base-2 (0 or 1)) using a C# program.
Decimal Number
A decimal number is classified as a base 10 number due to its range from 0 to 9, encompassing a total of 10 digits. Any sequence of these digits, like 223, 585, 192, 0, or 7, constitutes a decimal number.
Binary Number
A binary number operates on a base 2 system, encompassing only the digits 0 and 1. Any sequence containing a combination of these two digits forms a binary number, like 1001, 101, 11111, or 101010.
Let's examine some binary representations for decimal numbers.

Decimal to Binary Conversion Algorithm
Step 1: Divide the number by 2 using the % (modulus operator) and save the remainder in an array.
Step 2: Divide the value by 2 using the / (division operator).
Repeat the second step iteratively until the numerical value exceeds zero.
Let's explore the C# demonstration on converting a decimal number to binary.
Example
using System;
public class ConversionExample
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
int n, i;
int[] a = new int[10];
Console.Write("Enter the number to convert: ");
n= int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
for(i=0; n>0; i++)
{
a[i]=n%2;
n= n/2;
}
Console.Write("Binary of the given number= ");
for(i=i-1 ;i>=0 ;i--)
{
Console.Write(a[i]);
}
}
}
Output:
Enter the number to convert:10
Binary of the given number= 1010
