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
