Odious number

hello everyone..i need help with this problem to determine a number whether its odious number or not.. im wondering how to convert a given number to its binary value.. any idea? thanks..

Consider reading the API for what you are attempting to do before requesting help on a public forum.

Integer (Java Platform SE 6)

Short psuedocode

Code :

---

public static boolean isOdius(int num)
{
  binary is the binary representation of the number
 
  counter is 0
  for each number in binary
  {
     if number equals 1
       counter is counter plus one
  }
  return if counter is odd
}

how to convert a given number to its binary value.

---

What format is the number stored in? String or int or ?
What format should the converted number be in?
See the Integer class for useful methods for doing conversions from one format to another.

Code java:

---

String bin = Integer.to______String(12345);
Integer binNum =  Integer.________(___);

---

Fill in the blanks, if you need to make the binary number beyond Integer.MAX_VALUE, then use a Long, and if you still need more room, use a BigInteger.

^int value i guess..here's the question..
In odious number is a nonnegative number that has an odd number of 1s in its binary expansion. The first few odious numbers are therefore 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 16, 19, ... (Sloane's A000069). Numbers that are not odious are said to be evil numbers.

Determine if a given number is Odious or Evil number..

btw..thanks for the help guys.. seems like i should have check javadoc first..too easy..

Learning to read javadocs is a very important skill I've found.

aesguitar, what's BigInteger? I've heard of it, but I've never actually looked into it. Please tell me more.

It is a big integer. Your favorite search engine is a better place to ask that question. Too much information is available already without the cost of volunteer's time.

Jeez, sorry...
