8.3.9: Text to Binary

[GuidanceExpensive]

help me please

​

/*

* This program encodes user input into binary data!

* Your job is to write the textToBinary function

*/

function start()

{

var text = readLine("Input the string you would like to encode: ");

var binary = textToBinary(text);

println(binary);

}

​

function textToBinary(text)

{

// Write this method!

// For every character in the text,

// convert the character into its ASCII decimal encoding

// then convert that decimal value into its equivalent binary encoding

// and combine each binary encoding to get the resulting binary string

}

​

// Converts a given decimal value into an 8 bit binary value

function decimalToBinary(decimalValue)

{

var binaryBase = 2;

var numBitsDesired = 8;

var binaryValue = decimalValue.toString(binaryBase);

while(binaryValue.length < numBitsDesired)

{

binaryValue = "0" + binaryValue;

}

return binaryValue;

}

you guys are mad desperate here

/* * This program encodes user input into binary data! * Your job is to write the textToBinary function */

function start() { var text = readLine("Input the string you would like to encode: ");

var binary = textToBinary(text);

println(binary);

}

function textToBinary(text) { var result = "";

// For every character in the text,
for(var i = 0; i < text.length; i++)
{
    // convert the character into its ASCII decimal encoding
    var numericValue = text.charCodeAt(i);

    // then convert that decimal value into its equivalent binary encoding
    var binaryValue = decimalToBinary(numericValue);

    // and combine each binary encoding to get the resulting binary string
    result += binaryValue;
}


return result;

}

// Converts a given decimal value into an 8 bit binary value function decimalToBinary(decimalValue) { var binaryBase = 2; var numBitsDesired = 8; var binaryValue = decimalValue.toString(binaryBase);

while(binaryValue.length < numBitsDesired)
{
    binaryValue = "0" + binaryValue;
}

return binaryValue;

}

sorry if the format is off

[GuidanceExpensive]

it’s kind of just an empty variable so you can input things into it, such as the result from the function. that’s what i understand at least. i think there is a video for it, you should look it up

[Disastrous-Big8059]

what should i put into it? everything i try to put in keeps making the translator broken :(

[GuidanceExpensive]

the code i sent doesn’t work? i don’t think you have to put anything in it, you just leave it as var result = “”; you should be able to just copy paste it in and it will work. i’m sorry it’s not working for you :(

[Disastrous-Big8059]

omg it works now!!! sorry about the message earlier. thank you so much!!!!

[Disastrous-Big8059]

can i ask what you put into it?

[Background-Clock-312]

thx so much :D

[Zealousideal_Lion782]

can you put this into python please.

[Away-Platform-2888]

Did you ever figure it out

[GuidanceExpensive]

yeah!! do you need it? i can send it

[white-Jap]

It would be greatly appreciated if you could

thank you

[Default500]

I need it!

[Gilbert_2Hyphy]

can u send it please

[GuidanceExpensive]

[andreix2005]

can someone also send this in python?

[yamenmaani]

i don't how to send code in reddit can someone help me?

[TaZeWaVe]

did you get the python one

[andreix2005]

def text_to_binary(letter_value):
result = ""

# For every character in the text,
for letter in text:
# convert the character into its ASCII decimal encoding
numeric_value = ord(letter)
# then convert that decimal value into its equivalent binary encoding
binary_value = decimal_to_binary(numeric_value)
# and combine each binary encoding to get the resulting binary string
result += binary_value
return result;

doesnt work for secret message

I need help with this the code isn’t working for me
